Four positions are anticipated to be filled from this Job Opportunity Announcement:

• One position will be filled at the GS 05 grade level, with an annual salary range of $42,151 - $54,793 per year.

• One position will be filled at the GS 08 grade level, with an annual salary range of $57,824 - $75,170 per year.

Each position is being filled at the full performance level, therefore there is no promotion potential associated with any of these positions.

These positions are duty stationed at Dry Tortugas National Park (DRTO) which is located 70 miles west of Key West, Florida, in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico. The park is 101 square miles of mostly ocean with a sub-tropical coral reef system. There are currently 7 small keys that make up less than 0.2% of the park area. These keys are home to a variety of nesting seabirds including: sooty terns, brown noddys, magnificent frigatebirds, and masked boobies. The keys are also hosts for several hundred loggerhead and green sea turtle nests each year. The marine part of the park consists of a large variety of coral reefs, which have been severely impacted by warm ocean temperatures and coral diseases over the past several years. The Natural Resources program will be focused on monitoring how the loss of coral effects the ecosystem and whether restoration projects can help preserve and enhance the ecosystem and the populations that rely on it.

Work will include a mixture of terrestrial and marine focused duties. Which will include conducting monitoring studies for seabirds and sea turtles, invasive species management, marine surveys (coral, fish, benthic invertebrates, seagrass, etc...), and restoration projects. Work priorities can shift rapidly due to the remote nature of the park, weather patterns, and logistical difficulties, so being flexible is vital to these positions.

While on duty employees typically stay at Garden Key, a remote 16-acre island with few services. The island does have employee housing, a small recreation room, and limited Starlink internet. Employee housing at Garden Key is in small or shared apartments with other employees. Housing units have running water, air-conditioning, and small kitchens. There are no grocery stores, banks, etc... available on the island. Employees must travel to Key West to access most services. Creating a work-life balance while living at a worksite for up to two weeks, with limited to no services can be challenging. Available recreational activities include: snorkeling, diving, paddleboarding, fishing, sailing, birding, and other outdoor pursuits.

A 15-month fixed term full time Postdoctoral Research Association (PDRA) position is available in the Department of Geography at Durham University. The successful candidate will join the project 'Greenland Ice Sheet and sea-level response under climate change from AD 1600 to 2100'. The project is led at Durham by Professor Sarah Woodroffe and is funded by the UK Natural Environment Research Council.

As a PDRA on this project, the successful applicant will be required to develop relative sea-level reconstructions over the past few hundred years from salt-marshes in Greenland using diatoms as the main proxy, alongside XRF and other stratigraphic methods. These reconstructions will be compared to relative sea-level predictions from new Greenland-wide models of ice sheet change developed by collaborators on the project from Lincoln and Northumbria Universities. The main responsibilities will be to develop new modern and fossil diatom datasets from Greenland saltmarshes and statistical and chronological models that allow quantitative relative sea-level reconstructions from sites around the west coast of Greenland. A further responsibility will be to write applications for radiocarbon dating support, to prepare data, figures and text for publication and to communicate the interim and final findings of the research at collaborator workshops and international science meetings.

This is a great opportunity to work as part of a friendly team on a cutting-edge project. The PDRA will have access to outstanding resources including laboratory and microscope facilities and travel funding for conferences and collaboration.

The successful candidate will have extensive experience in developing relative sea-level reconstructions using diatom data and application of quantitative methods of RSL reconstruction. Previous experience working in salt-marshes would be an advantage.
