| Aspect | Mangrove Restoration | Marine Biologist |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Environmental science or related degree, certifications in habitat restoration | Biology degree, often with specialization in marine ecosystems, research certifications |
| Work Environment | Coastal areas, mangrove forests, fieldwork | Research labs, ocean sites, fieldwork in marine environments |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Environmental NGOs, government agencies, conservation projects | Research institutions, universities, government agencies |
While both roles focus on marine and coastal ecosystems, Mangrove Restoration specialists primarily work on restoring and conserving mangrove habitats, often involving hands-on fieldwork and habitat management. Marine Biologists conduct broader research on marine life and ecosystems, which may include mangroves but also extends to other marine species and environments. Both careers require environmental science backgrounds but differ in their specific focus and daily tasks.

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to advance numerical modeling of marsh and mangrove ecosystems using existing simulation frameworks including NUMAR, NUMAN, and FORMAN. The position focuses on evaluating ecosystem design performance across diverse environmental settings such as deltas, estuaries, and lagoons under conditions of sea level rise, subsidence, disturbance, and sediment dynamics.
Job Responsibilities:
Develop and advance numerical modeling frameworks for marsh and mangrove ecosystems using NUMAR, NUMAN, and FORMAN to evaluate ecosystem stability, resilience, and restoration performance under varying environmental conditions including sea level rise, subsidence, disturbance, and sediment deposition. (40%)
Integrate ecosystem, geomorphic, and hydrodynamic models across unit and landscape scales to assess restoration and ecosystem design alternatives such as marsh construction, hydrologic restoration, river diversions, sediment augmentation, and mangrove restoration for long-term coastal resilience and flood mitigation. (25%)
Refine and expand model capabilities by incorporating mangrove forest structure, root dynamics, drag coefficient estimation, and integration with storm surge and wave models such as ADCIRC and XBeach to improve predictions of ecosystem-based flood protection performance. (20%)
Prepare peer-reviewed publications, develop competitive research proposals, participate in interdisciplinary collaborations, and contribute to research project management and integrated modeling initiatives supporting coastal restoration and resilience planning. (10%)
Other duties as assigned. (5%)
Minimum Qualifications:
Ph.D. in Coastal Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Ecology, Oceanography, Earth Sciences, Civil Engineering, Hydrology, or a related field.
Preferred Qualifications:
Ph.D in Coastal Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Ecology, Oceanography, Earth Sciences, Civil Engineering, Hydrology, or a related field and experience with numerical modeling of ecological, hydrodynamic, geomorphic, or coastal systems.
Demonstrated experience with model development, calibration, and validation.
Skills Needed:
