2. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
CICOES is searching for a postdoctoral scholar to lead a research project analyzing global ocean biogeochemistry data from observation-based products and numerical models to advance understanding of ocean variability and change in support of NOAA’s Climate Ecosystems Fisheries Initiative. The position will be based at the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) and will be mentored by and/or collaborate with scientists from CICOES, NOAA PMEL, and NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL). The postdoctoral scholar will evaluate the model and observation-based data sets (e.g., temperature, salinity, oxygen, nitrate, and carbon variables) in terms of their mean state, variability, and trends as well as changes in the extent and overlap of ecosystem stressors.

3. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Tumor Immune Micro-environment (TIME) lab in the Department of Surgery, Division of General Surgery is seeking a full-time post-doctoral scholar to study the immunological features of the cancer stroma in liver metastases of experimental colorectal cancer. The central hypotheses are that the growing metastasis recruits vascular endothelial cells, fibroblasts and immune cells from the host liver, that some of these cells undergo trans-differentiation in the metastatic context, and that immunosuppressive mechanisms native to the liver are thereby active in the metastasis. The anticipated start date is October 1, 2024.

9. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Tropical cyclones (TCs) are a major source of extreme precipitation in tropical and subtropical regions. Accurate TC forecasts are key to predicting precipitation at the sub-seasonal time scale in the continental US as landfalling TCs often bring extreme rain, especially to the coastal regions. Given the potentially catastrophic societal impacts of torrential TC precipitation and — if not correctly simulated — their negative influence on a model’s sub-seasonal precipitation prediction skill, there is a clear need to evaluate sub-seasonal TC prediction and understand its skill in models. The main goal of the project is to identify and understand model biases and systematic errors in the representation of the MJO-TC relationship, a key source of predictability for sub-seasonal TC prediction.

10. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Simulations with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model (or a similar framework) will be used to simulate storms during the field campaign, including higher resolution large eddy simulations with WRF-LES that resolve finer features of the flow around the terrain. The postdoc will evaluate the fidelity of the simulations and use them to address questions about the relative roles of upstream conditions (e.g., moisture and aerosols), large-scale meteorology and mesoscale flowfield and cloud processes in producing the observed snowfall during S2noCLIME. The field phase of the project will be in Winter 2025 at the Storm Peak Laboratory at Steamboat Springs ski area in CO. There will be an opportunity to participate in the field during the data collection period from December 1st, 2024 – March 31st, 2025.

11. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The project pursues investigations in the immune-modulating roles of circulating MitoEV in sterile inflammation in chronic conditions such as HF and T2D. Specifically, studies are carried out to study the regulation and mechanism of MitoEV release from peripheral immune cells in the setting of chronic inflammation, and the tissue-specific targets of proinflammatory MitoEV. Approaches include live-cell confocal and electron microscopy, flow analysis, mRNA/protein analyses, and genetic modifications by CRISPR-knock using cell-based and animal models. Experience in confocal microscopy and mouse models is highly desirable.

12. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The research will be co-supervised by Dr. Christopher Anderson and Dr. André Punt. The research conducted in Dr. Anderson’s lab focuses on understanding how the incentives presented by different forms of fishery management affect fleetwide economic and social outcomes, and especially how fisheries can support sustainable livelihoods and communities. The Punt lab is dedicated to the development and testing of methods for assessing the past and current status of fish, invertebrate and marine mammal populations. Members use these assessments as the basis for forecasts that evaluate which methods for managing these populations will best achieve the goals established by society for those populations.

13. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The fields of autoimmunity and rheumatology have seen important advances in therapeutics that have improved patients’ lives. At the same time, all these advances are based on inhibiting inflammatory molecules that are physiologically important for a healthy immune system. We are interested in the next generation of therapeutics that will be personalized and only target the original disease process. Such treatments can only be created if we reveal the true causes of systemic autoimmune diseases.

14. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Punt lab is dedicated to the development and testing of methods for assessing the past and current status of fish, invertebrate and marine mammal populations. We use these assessments as the basis for forecasts that evaluate which methods for managing these populations will best achieve the goals established by society for those populations. We are exploring how to manage marine populations in the face of changing societal goals, climate change, ocean acidification, and the lack of data which is typical of the marine environment.
