Postdoctoral Researcher in Coral Reef Ecology (IS-0401-09)

The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) integrates provides world class science, education, and research training to meet the environmental challenges of the 21st century. SERC leads research and education on coastal ecosystems—where the land meets the sea—to inform real-world decisions for wise policies, best business practices, and a sustainable planet. Our work is urgent. The world’s coastal zones are home to more than 70 percent of the global population and experience intense economic activity. Environmental change is accelerating at an alarming rate. Since its creation in 1965, SERC has been conducting peer-reviewed research to understand the causes and consequences of rapid global change and helping people through education, citizen science to become responsible and effective stewards of the Earth.
