The Australian Antarctic Gateway Partnership** is seeking to make a number of University appointments on a full-time basis for terms of three years. We bring the following positions to your attention:
1. Antarctic Geophysicist Senior Postdoc/Postdoc synthesising remotely sensed measurements (both airborne and satellite) and numerical model output related to ice sheet mass budget
2. Ice Sheet Modeller Postdoc applying both forward and inverse methods to the problem of ice sheet mass budget
3. Paleo Ice Sheet Modeller Senior Postdoc/Postdoc focused on reconstructing the post-LGM Antarctic ice sheet
4. Cryosphere System Modeller Postdoc working on coupling solid earth/ice/ocean models (this is a joint Gateway/ACE CRC position)
5. Antarctic Coastal Ocean Modeller Postdoc advancing understanding of the interactions between ice-shelves and oceans using numerical models
6. Geochemist - Geothermal Heat Flux Postdoc improving understanding of the magnitude and spatial distribution of geothermal heat flow in East Antarctica through geochemical analysis and modelling
A number of related PhD scholarships will also be advertised in due course.
** The Antarctic Gateway Partnership is a Special Research Initiative funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC). The partnership involves the University of Tasmania, centred at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) and the Australian Maritime College (AMC); the CSIRO's Oceans and Atmosphere Flagship; and the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD). The Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre collaborates closely with the Antarctic Gateway Partnership.
Full position description are available via http://www.imas.utas.edu.au/antarctic-gateway-partnership/jobs . Total remuneration packages vary by the level of appointment but are up to $138,596 per annum (Senior Postdoc) or up to $117,371 per annum (Postdoc).
For informal enquiries please contact Prof Matt King (Paleo ice sheet modeller, Cryosphere system modeller, Geochemist) or Dr Ben Galton-Fenzi (Antarctic Geophysicist, Ice Sheet Modeller, Antarctic Coastal Modeller). All other enquiries should be directed to Prof Richard Coleman.
