Topic: ocean carbon cycling

Eighteen-month postdoctoral research appointments in ocean sciences and engineering, including chemistry, geology, geophysics, mathematics, meteorology, physics, biology, economics and marine policy. Scholars conduct independent research with WHOI scientific or senior technical staff; the 2027 competition also includes Marine Policy and Ocean Carbon Cycling awards. Annual stipend is at least USD 73,000, with relocation, health and welfare allowances and an independent research budget.

Brad Gemmell discusses how changing environmental conditions affect the behaviour and ecology of small marine organisms. Topics include ctenophore predation, diatoms and ocean carbon cycling, and the role of upside-down Cassiopea jellyfish as ecosystem engineers. The conversation connects organismal physiology and movement with broader changes in marine ecosystems.
