Current Job Openings
The Conservation Aquaculture Research Team (CART), based at the NCEAS, in partnership with California Sea Grant and with support from the Ocean Protection Council, is seeking to fill a postdoctoral position as part of its effort to develop a strategic action plan for aquaculture in the State of California. The position will be based at NCEAS in Santa Barbara, California.
The State of California, through the Ocean Protection Council (OPC), has initiated a process to develop and eventually implement a strategic action plan for expanding aquaculture. CART will be working in close coordination with California Sea Grant to engage stakeholders, synthesize the state of knowledge around aquaculture planning, and develop a user-informed draft action plan. This draft plan will then be used to inform a second, extensive round of stakeholder engagement to refine and finalize the plan. The final action plan will be presented in 2023.
This postdoctoral researcher will be based at NCEAS in Santa Barbara, California and will support and lead components of the work plan to develop the user-informed strategic action plan. The position will be embedded within CART and the broader NCEAS community, as well as the Halpern and Froehlich research labs.

Are you passionate about designing and building web applications for open science? Do you want to promote reproducible and synthetic research on the earth and the environment? Do you love to collaborate at the intersection of science, engineering, and design?
We seek a talented web developer and designer to join our open science development team and contribute to web applications that advance ecological and environmental synthesis at global scales. Projects focus on building web sites for sharing and managing scientific information and data, analysis code, and other science products to help promote open, reproducible science and facilitate synthetic research.
Projects will include designing and building web sites and applications that present scientific results in ecology and environmental science and that enable scientists to describe, submit, and discover data, analysis results, and other project details important to researchers. Projects will initially build web applications for the Arctic Data Center, the Ocean Health Index, and the DataONE network of data repositories, among many others. Upcoming projects include, for example, ones that focus on redesigning project web sites, publishing scientific findings, displaying metadata quality results on the web, and building web sites to support and promote preservation, discovery, reuse, and citation of open scientific data.
