[Braswell,Anna E]

Dear Coastal List,

The Coastal Ecosystems and Watersheds Lab at University of Florida is looking for a postdoctoral associate to join two projects funded through the National Academies of Sciences - Gulf Program. The role involves two complementary projects investigating coastal flood risks and the ecosystem service benefits of small-scale living shorelines, in collaboration with Florida Sea Grant, and Florida Atlantic University.

Postdoctoral Associate Position includes:

• Leading data analysis and community-engaged research that integrates high-resolution sea level models (FAU led), sensor data, AI approaches (FAU led), and ecological change.
• Conducting fieldwork deploying instruments to quantify shoreline dynamics, coastal water levels, and developing practitioner-focused outreach materials.
• Coordinating extension and stakeholder engagement activities to translate science into actionable tools for coastal communities.
• Based at UF’s Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences Program with fieldwork along Florida’s Gulf Coast.
• Initial 1-year appointment with a $60,000 annual salary; funding renewal expected.

Applicants should hold a doctoral degree in environmental science, coastal engineering, ecology, or related fields, with skills in data analysis, programming (R, Python, GIS), and science communication.

Application:
Send a cover letter, CV, and references to Dr. Anna Braswell at a.bra...@ufl.edu.
Deadline: May 8 (applications reviewed on a rolling basis).
