Postdoctoral Scholar: Environmental DNA for quantitative applications - marine conservation & fisheries science.
Position Overview
Organization: Marine and Environmental Affairs
Title: Postdoctoral Scholar: Environmental DNA for quantitative applications - marine conservation & fisheries science.
Position Details
Position Description
Researchers at the University of Washington and collaborators at the Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) in Seattle seek a post-doctoral researcher to help with the development and/or application of statistical methods for using eDNA data for quantitative conservation and fisheries applications. The PIs have access to a large number of eDNA samples collected from nearshore open ocean habitats along the US west that are relevant to a wide range of both fish and marine mammal species and are seeking researchers interested in using these samples to understand the distribution and abundance of marine resources.
Past research has focused on applying eDNA data to inform management-relevant questions. Examples include, estimating abundance of salmon and Pacific hake from eDNA using qPCR approaches (e.g. Shelton et al. 2019, 2022a), the structure of nearshore marine communities from metabarcoding (e.g. O’Donnell et al. 2017, Kelly et al. 2017), and advancing the development of eDNA metabarcoding methods for ecological assessment (Kelly et al. 2019, Shelton et al. 2023). We are interested in researchers that have an interest in extending or expanding any of these projects or develop new areas of potential application with eDNA data. Particular areas of interest are: 1) developing projects are around using eDNA to understand trophic relationships (e.g. distribution and abundance of predators and prey such as hake and krill or whales and forage fish); 2) using eDNA to understand the composition and distribution of bycatch in the ocean; 3) the development of statistical methods to combine information from eDNA with more traditional survey data (e.g. net-based or acoustic surveys).
This position is primarily focused on modeling and analysis, not the generation of new eDNA data. We encourage researchers with quantitative background in ecology, fisheries, environmental DNA, or conservation biology to apply. We expect candidates to contribute to our team through the collaboration and consultation with other researchers during the production of eDNA data. No prior experience with eDNA data is required, though basic familiarity with the practical aspects of eDNA data production would be helpful.
The post-doc will be supervised by Dr. Ryan Kelly (University of Washington) and will primarily collaborate with Dr. A. Ole Shelton (NWFSC, NOAA) and Dr. Krista Nichols (NWFSC, NOAA). The position is open until filled with a negotiable start date. Funding is initially for one year but extendable to a second year. The annual salary range for this position will be $65,508 to $75,000, commensurate with experience and qualifications, or as mandated by a U.S. Department of Labor prevailing wage determination.
Please contact ole.shelton@noaa.gov or rpkelly@uw.edu for more information about this position.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, but apply by May 5, 2023, to receive full consideration. The position will start as soon as possible, but no later than September 15, 2023.
Postdoctoral scholars are represented by UAW 4121 and are subject to the collective bargaining agreement, unless agreed exclusion criteria apply. For more information, please visit the University of Washington Labor Relations website.

Postdoctoral Scholar in Physical/Chemical Oceanography (Bubble-Mediated Gas Exchange)
Position Overview
Organization: Applied Physics Lab
Title: Postdoctoral Scholar in Physical/Chemical Oceanography (Bubble-Mediated Gas Exchange)
Position Details
Position Description
The Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington (APL-UW) invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher to join the NSF funded Collaborative Research Investigating Bubble-Mediated Gas Exchange in a Strongly Convective Ocean during the Bubble Exchange in the Labrador Sea (BELS) Experiment. The overarching objectives of the project are to better understand bubble processes and bubble-mediated gas transfer in strongly convective environments typical of the high-latitude ocean and to propose a revised parameterization suitable for the world’s ocean, including strongly convective environments. An associated objective is to quantify the effect of solubility and gas saturation anomaly on bubble-mediated gas transfer. The observational component of the project centers on the international (Canada, Germany, UK and USA) BELS experiment departing November 2023 to the Labrador Sea during which turbulent ocean currents, bubbles, and gases will be directly measured.
Specifically, the postdoctoral investigator will be expected to assist with collection and analysis of data obtained using Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) equipped with dissolved gas sensors and acoustic sensors for currents and bubbles. Then use these data sets to estimate bubble mediated gas transfer rates and supersaturation levels from 1-D or 3-D budgeting approaches, including numerical model (LES) simulations, and compare these estimates to dual-tracer rates and eddy covariance rates. The postdoctoral scholar will work directly with Dr. Craig McNeil (APL-UW).
In addition to disseminating results at major conferences and in peer-reviewed journals, postdocs are encouraged and mentored in writing grant proposals. A notable feature of APL postdoc positions is the ability to submit grant proposals as PIs under supervision, with the goal of establishing an independent research program and career path.
The postdoc will be based at the University of Washington – Seattle Campus. The start date is expected to be 1 September 2023 and the duration of appointment is 1 year (12 months), with the possibility of extension depending on performance and availability of funding.
Salary range: The salary range for this position will be $5,800 to $6,200 per month, commensurate with experience and qualifications, or as mandated by a U.S. Department of Labor prevailing wage determination.
Qualifications
We strive to promote greater diversity among applicants than is currently found in our field, and we strongly encourage applications from all groups that are underrepresented in the Geosciences. The position is open to capable doctoral recipients in research fields including oceanography, physics, applied math and other related fields; degrees not in the list above will also be considered.
Candidates must have data analysis skills (in Matlab or Python) and preferably experience with Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler’s or imaging sonars. Ability to communicate scientific results to both broad and expert audiences, orally and in writing, is indispensable to both this position and any subsequent appointments at APL-UW.
University of Washington postdoctoral scholar appointments are for a temporary, defined period not to exceed five years/60 months, including any previous postdoctoral experiences.
Instructions
Each applicant will be expected to submit:
- A CV including demonstrated scholarly output (e.g., publications, presentations, data analysis code)
- Cover letter to include current interest and how it aligns with the goals of this project.
To request disability accommodation in the application process, please contact the UW's Disability Services Office at 206-543-6450, or 206-543-6452 (TTY), or dso@uw.edu.
