The Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the
University of California, San Diego (UCSD) in La Jolla, California, invites
applications for several Institution-wide Postdoctoral Scholar positions in
any of the major areas of research conducted at Scripps.
Scripps Institution
of Oceanography is one of the oldest, largest, and most important centers
for marine science research in the world. Research at Scripps Institution of
Oceanography encompasses physical, chemical, biological, geological, and
geophysical studies of the oceans, earth, and atmosphere. Scripps
postdoctoral scholars are expected to interact with existing programs, and
candidates are required to contact potential mentors and identify mutual
research interests prior to submitting their applications. Research
activities at Scripps can be explored by viewing profiles of the Principal
Investigators at http://scripps.ucsd.edu/Research/People/
Candidates are required to have completed the Ph.D. degree prior to taking
up the appointment and should have received the degree no earlier than
January 1, 2006. Current and former Scripps Postdocs are not eligible for
these awards. Awards are competitive with a major emphasis on potential for
independent, creative research. The positions are for one year, with renewal
for a second year by mutual agreement, with a salary based on the University
of California pay scale, plus benefits. Deadline for applications will be on
March 1, 2009, and successful candidates are expected to start before
December 1, 2009. All applications, which must include two confidential
letters of recommendation, and letter of support from a potential Scripps
mentor are to be submitted in electronic form, following instructions to be
found at http://sio.ucsd.edu/Research/Post_Docs/. All candidates are
expected to have an excellent command of the English language.
Recipients of the 2009 Scripps Postdoctoral awards will receive a minimum
stipend of $45,000 per year, based on University of California pay scale.
Appointees are eligible for health insurance through UCSD.
