Position Description The School of Oceanography at the University of Washington (UW) invites applications for a postdoctoral scholar to conduct original research focusing on a new project “Constraining Pliocene North Pacific marine heatwave variability from individual foraminifera Mg/Ca,” funded through the NSF’s Paleo-Perspectives on Climate Change program. This will be an excellent opportunity for those who are excited by the challenge of using highly-sensitive, cutting-edge analytical techniques to generate novel reconstructions of past climate variability in hopes of better forecasting future change. Marine heatwaves (MHW) are prolonged periods of anomalous ocean warming with considerable socioeconomic impacts, and a persistent north Pacific event from 2014-2016 is likely the most ecologically and economically impactful ever. Observational data suggest an increase in MHW frequency and duration over the past century, but simulations of future MHW...

Position Description In Alaska, coastal national parks which naturally support populations of anadromous salmon, including pink and chum salmon, may be influenced by hatchery-produced fish that stray from their natal origins into park streams. For example, the Indian River bisects Sitka National Historical Park and supports diverse biological and riparian communities typical of a small coastal river ecosystem including populations of resident and anadromous rainbow trout (steelhead), Dolly Varden charr, cutthroat trout, and other common coastal fish species. The river also naturally supports populations of a suite of anadromous salmon ( Oncorhynchus  spp.), including native runs of pink, coho, and chum salmon. Salmon are considered a keystone species in small coastal streams in Alaska, naturally influencing stream geomorphology, water chemistry, and a myriad of trophic dynamics both in the stream and in adjacent riparian areas. However, the population of pink salmon...
