Dear colleagues,
We are searching for a postdoctoral researcher to join us in the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College to work on the NSF-funded project "Freeze-on of Subglacial Sediments in Experiments and Theory" (NSF-2012958). This project is in collaboration with Professor Luke Zoet (UW-Madison) and Professor Alan Rempel (University of Oregon), with the UW-Madison contingent performing laboratory experiments and the Dartmouth/Oregon crew working on theory.
The ideal candidate will build upon their background in applied mathematics, physics, earth science, or engineering to develop new models for the behavior of frozen sediments beneath glaciers. We will compare our predictions with data from the UW-Madison laboratory experiments and use what we learn to elucidate the role of freezing sediments on sliding at the base of glaciers.
In our research group at Dartmouth and in this grant collaboration, we specifically aim to foster a broader participation of underrepresented researchers in the geophysical sciences. Our goal is to build a community that is supportive and inclusive, with individualized mentoring for each researcher to account for the unique challenges they face.
Please feel free to get in touch if you are interested or know of exceptional candidates. Our aim is for a Fall 2021 or earlier start date.
Dartmouth College is a private, liberal arts college in Hanover, New Hampshire which is in the bucolic Upper Valley on the border of New Hampshire and Vermont. Situated on the Connecticut River and the Appalachian Trail, there are fantastic opportunities for outdoor activities in the surrounding region including hiking, trail running, rowing, skiing, and cycling. Locally there are many trails for cross country and backcountry skiing in addition to the Dartmouth Skiway. Major ski resorts are nestled into the Green and White Mountains, about 1-2 hours afield. The Upper Valley is a collection of 6+ towns with cafes, breweries, farmer's markets, and coop grocery stores with an artistic and inclusive community. Additionally, Hanover, NH is 2.5 hours from Boston, MA and 3.5 hours from Montreal, QC.
Cheers,
Colin
