Tenure Track Faculty Positions in Estuarine and Marine Science Apply
Research at HPL is inter- and trans-disciplinary, with many collaborations within HPL, and across all UMCES research units. This research reaches across a genes to ecosystems continuum in a diverse array of terrestrial, freshwater, estuarine and marine environments, and spans scales of local, regional, and global importance. A key part of the UMCES mission is unique for an academic institution to provide objective, scientific advice on environmental management and policy to the State of Maryland, with particular interest in the health of the Chesapeake Bay. All faculty are encouraged to contribute to UMCESs nascent Chesapeake Global Collaborative (CGC) initiative (https://www.umces.edu/chesapeake-global-collaboratory), which aims to use big data approaches to solve big problems by engaging diverse voices, and developing innovative tools and products.
