Posting Summary
The Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences (DMCS) at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor.
Changes in marine systems are driven by a variety of factors many of which are undergoing global change. These shifts will fundamentally alter marine food webs, which beyond the myriad of societal impacts, will alter the fundamental ecology of the ocean. Some of the major biomes of the planet are particularly sensitive. For example, coral reefs and calcifying organisms are particularly sensitive to increasing acidification which can result in their dissolution. Additionally, these systems are often highly sensitive to rising temperatures. Despite the global significance of coral reefs in shaping tropical/temperate coastal geomorphology, global biodiversity, human economy, and food for humans, their response to changes in climate over the coming decades remains poorly understood.
The Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences research and teaching strategic plans are focused on being a world leader in understanding how a changing ocean will impact humanity. Rutgers lacks a program in coral reefs, which is a fundamental hole in Rutgers research as these reefs represent one of the major biomes on Earth and are predicted to be one of the potential first global victims of climate change. Therefore, we are seeking to hire an Assistant Tenure Track Professor with a focus on the biology of coral reefs and their trajectory on a changing ocean planet.
