Ruth D. Gates Endowed Chair in Coral Reef Systems
The Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology is committed to supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion in science and to UH Manoa’s strategic priority and institutional goal of becoming a Native Hawaiian Place of Learning. An inclusive workplace strengthens the community. We encourage all to apply.
The Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) within the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) at the University of Hawaii at Manoa invites applications for the newly established Ruth D. Gates Endowed Chair in Coral Reef Systems, which honors the distinguished research and outreach of the late Dr. Gates.
The mission of HIMB is to be a global hub for cutting-edge science and technology aimed at understanding and conserving tropical marine and coastal ecosystems. The Institute's principal facilities and operations are located on Moku o Loe (Coconut Island), a 29-acre island surrounded by a coral reef in Kaneohe Bay on the windward side of the island of Oahu, about 15 miles from the UH Manoa campus. The research, education, and service programs at HIMB currently encompass basic and applied aspects of tropical marine biology, coral reef ecology, and marine science education research and curriculum development, including areas of emphasis in the following five sub-disciplines: 1) coral reef biophysical and biogeographical research; 2) coral reef physiology, ecology, evolution, and biodiversity; 3) fisheries research; 4) population, spatial and behavioral ecology of marine megafauna; and 5) K-20 marine education and community outreach. The Institute has just completed a $40 million renovation of its facilities to accommodate growing research and education programs, and in support of approximately 150 employees, including 24 research faculty.
Committed to the UH Manoa’s strategic priority and institutional goal of becoming a Native Hawaiian Place of Learning, HIMB has a deep engagement with, and commitment to, its neighborhood educational and non-profit organization partners, including but not limited to the Windward Community College, the Koolaupoko Hawaiian Civic Club, Koolau Foundation, Paepae o Heeia, Kakoo Oiwi, The Pacific American Foundation, and the Kaneohe and Kahaluu Neighborhood Boards. In collaboration with many of these partners, HIMB serves as administrative lead for the recently designated Heeia National Estuarine Research Reserve, approximately 1,400 acres of estuary and coastal wetland in Kaneohe Bay, including Moku o Loe. The University of Hawaii at Manoa is a land-, sea-, space-and sun-grant institution with an enrollment of approximately 20,000 graduate and undergraduate students. In addition to its own faculty and staff, HIMB sponsors affiliated faculty from other University of Hawaii campuses, scientists from federal and state agencies, short-term visiting scientists, and adjunct faculty.
