The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in the Department of Fisheries Oceanography (DFO) or the Department of Estuarine and Ocean Sciences (DEOS) at the School for Marine Science and Technology (SMAST), beginning September 2027.
Marine Biogeochemistry
We seek a marine biogeochemist whose research addresses emerging challenges and opportunities relative to understanding, observing, and modeling open ocean and coastal systems. Areas of interest include nutrient and carbon cycling, stable isotope and tracer geochemistry, carbon sequestration and ocean alkalinity enhancement, ocean acidification, deoxygenation, greenhouse gas dynamics, and ecosystem resilience as well as marine pollution, including the fate and transformation of nitrogen, plastics and/or other contaminants in coastal environments. We welcome candidates whose research advances these areas through field observations, laboratory and experimental approaches, numerical modeling, data-driven and machine learning methods, or emerging observing technologies such as autonomous and sensor-based platforms.
Marine Fisheries
We seek a scientist with research interests in marine policy, governance, ecosystems, ocean modeling and AI, and fisheries technology, with a geographic focus on, but not limited to, the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary research, advanced technology and quantitative analysis to better understand and predict the impact of a rapidly changing ocean and human activity on marine fisheries and seafood supply and translating that knowledge into sustainable management and adaptative strategies.
Minimum Qualifications:
Education:
- An earned Ph.D. in Marine Science, Oceanography, or a closely related field by the time of appointment.
Experience:
- A record of graduate- or undergraduate-level teaching.
- Research accomplishments commensurate with years since the Ph.D., including:
- Peer-reviewed publications
- Leading or participating in externally funded projects
- Experience working with academic, government, or industry partners (desirable).
- Appointment level (Assistant or Associate Professor) set at hiring, based on teaching experience and research record relative to SMAST’s tenure and promotion criteria.
Other:
- Candidates must demonstrate a commitment to excellence in teaching, mentorship, and scholarly accomplishments, as well as a capability to build a strong research program with extramural support.
Preferred Qualifications:
- A track record of successful grant proposal submission and funding as a principal investigator.
- A track record of graduate course development and student mentorship.
- Strong written and oral communication skills as demonstrated by a record of publications and presentations.
- A demonstrated ability to be a productive member of a research collaboration.
Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Required:
- Background and experience in a marine-related research area of strategic interest to SMAST.
