Position Summary

Bowdoin College invites applications for a one-year fellowship as the Doherty Marine Biology Postdoctoral Scholar beginning June 1, 2018. A second year is possible pending administrative approval. The Doherty Scholar's research and teaching will be based at the Schiller Coastal Studies Center ( SCSC ) located on a 118-acre property on Orr's Island, a 20 minute drive from campus. The site offers easy access to nearshore habitats of the Casco Bay region of Maine. Over the last four years, the SCSC has enhanced Bowdoin's capacity for conducting research that examines the impacts of climate change on coastal systems. This effort includes a new NSF funded experimental seawater laboratory and coastal monitoring platform as well as a recent gift that will significantly expand research and residential infrastructure. We seek applicants who take an inter-disciplinary approach to studying changing chemical environments and the impacts on benthic invertebrates. Additionally, scholars who have primary training in marine biology/physiology and ocean acidification with an interest in incorporating cross-disciplinary tools from geochemistry and paleoceanography are encouraged to apply. The Doherty Scholar will maintain an active research program that synergizes with a 1/3 time commitment to a collaborative ocean acidification project with marine biologists, marine geochemists and paleoceaongraphers funded by Maine Sea Grant. The teaching responsibilities include a course module in the fall Marine Science Semester and the supervision of undergraduate research in the applicant's specialty during the summer and academic year.

The annual stipend for this benefits-eligible position is $50,000. Applicants must have received, or anticipate receiving, their Ph.D. between June 1, 2012 and June 1, 2018.

We welcome applications from candidates committed to the instruction and support of a diverse student population and those who will enrich and contribute to the College's ethnic and cultural diversity. We value a community in which students of all backgrounds are warmly welcomed and encouraged to succeed. In your application materials, we encourage you to address how your teaching, scholarship, and/or mentorship may support our commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Bowdoin College accepts only electronic submissions. Please submit letter of application, curriculum vitae, statement of research and teaching interests, and the names and contact information for three references who have agreed to provide a recommendation.

Review of applications begins immediately and will continue until the position is filled. Applications received by February 1, 2018 will receive first priority.
