The Smithsonian Institution is offering fellowships to postdoctoral candidates who are interested in researching marine biodiversity and ecosystems. MarineGEO seeks to transform our understanding of the links between biodiversity and ecological processes in coastal marine ecosystems, the forces of change, and related consequences for society, using integrative and multidisciplinary approaches across space and time and provide the science needed to understand coastal health. Proposals should advance the goals of the Marine Global Earth Observatory. MarineGEO is a growing, long-term, worldwide research program focused on understanding geographic and temporal patterns and processes in coastal marine biodiversity and ecosystems using comparative approaches. By specializing in coastal systems, MarineGEO studies can reveal the role marine biodiversity plays in maintaining resilient ecosystems in the portion of the ocean where people and marine biodiversity are concentrated and interact most.
