Postdoctoral Fellowships in the Earth and Environmental Sciences
Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University invites applications for Postdoctoral Fellowships
in the fields of Earth and environmental sciences. Candidates should have recently completed their Ph.D. or
should expect to complete their degree requirements by September 2017.
Researchers at the Observatory work to understand the dynamics of the Earth's chemical, physical, and
biological systems, from the core to the upper atmosphere, including Earth's interactions with human
society. Our scientists lead research in the fields of solid Earth dynamics; ocean, atmospheric, and climate
systems; cryospheric dynamics; paleoclimate; and biogeoscience.
The principal selection criteria for Fellows are scientific excellence and a clearly expressed plan to investigate
problems at the forefront of Earth science. Applications from all related fields are welcomed.
Fellowships are supported institutionally for 24 months, include a $7,500 research allowance, and carry an
annual salary of $64,000. Successful candidates will be encouraged to apply for external funding and may be
eligible for further internal awards and positions. LDEO is especially interested in qualified candidates whose
record of achievement will contribute to the diversity of the Observatory's scientific personnel.
The deadline for applications is November 14, 2016.
