The Director of the SIO component of CalCOFI will provide strategic leadership, effectively manage the program, connect the program even more closely to our academic and research activities at SIO and partner institutions, promote understanding and use of the results within California, nationally and internationally, initiate creative scientific research, and seek ways to enhance the program.

SIO is a world renowned center of marine research with approximately 200 principal investigators leading research programs on all aspects of earth, ocean and atmospheric sciences. SIO is committed to academic excellence and diversity within the faculty, staff, and student body. We seek candidates who have demonstrated a commitment to excellence by providing leadership in teaching, research and service toward building an equitable and diverse scholarly environment.
