Postdoctoral Researcher Collaboration in Climate-Biology Interactions

The Postdoctoral Researcher position at beBee Careers focuses on a collaborative project studying Climate-Biology Interactions in Juneau, AK. The role involves advancing research on SLP-SST correlations, developing a new climate index, and utilizing seasonal forecasts for predicting changes in climate patterns. The research topics include salmon run diversity and the Arctic Oscillation's impact on climate relationships.
Collaborative Research Project: Understanding Climate-Biology Interactions

This collaborative research project seeks to expand on previous findings regarding nonstationary SLP-SST correlations as predictors for biological responses to climate anomalies in various ecosystems. A successful applicant will contribute to advancing three objectives: testing the generality of SLP-SST correlations, developing a new climate index, and using seasonal climate forecasts to make short-term predictions of changes to SLP-SST correlation patterns.

A range of research topics is available for this project, including documenting changing portfolio diversity in salmon runs under nonstationary AL variability, developing a new climate index that accounts for nonstationary relationships between basin-scale and regional climate variability, and assessing the role of changes in the Arctic Oscillation pattern as a driver in changing North Pacific SLP-SST relationships.
