Dear all,
Job description for Postdoctoral Research Scientist at LDEO in Glaciology:
The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist position in cryospheric sciences.
Researchers at Lamont work to understand the dynamics of the Earth's chemical, physical and biological systems, from the core to the upper atmosphere, including Earth¹s interactions with human society. Our scientists lead research in the fields of solid Earth dynamics; ocean, atmospheric and climate systems; cryospheric sciences; paleoclimate and biogeoscience.
Main responsibilities:
To conduct research using existing ice-penetrating radar datasets and physics-based mathematical modelling to understand the flow of ice sheets. Available data include ground-based and airborne ice-penetrating radar data from East and West Antarctica. These data have been collected by researchers at Lamont-Doherty, the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), and NASA Operation Ice Bridge. The successful applicant will be encouraged to develop research ideas aimed at analyzing these data with the aid of mathematical techniques, including modelling of ice flow and radar-wave propagation.
Experience and qualifications:
A PhD in Glaciology, Geography, Earth Sciences, Geophysics, Applied Mathematics, Physics or a related discipline. Excellent programming and mathematical skills, and some experience analyzing and interpreting ice-penetrating radar are desirable. Evidence of the ability to conduct and publish high quality research is also desirable.
Appointment will be for 1 year, with continuation pending funding and progress.
Please find below an advert for a postdoctoral position in glaciology at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.
We are looking for someone interested in developing research ideas to use ice-penetrating radar data to constrain present and past ice flow.
The post is for one year with very likely extension to two years.
Details and application at https://academicjobs.columbia.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=63323
Please feel free to reach out to discuss this position prior to application.
Many thanks,
Jonny Kingslake
