[CRYOLIST] USGS Benchmark Glacier Project Seeking Info on Newly Minted PhD Scientists

Hi Cryolist,

The U.S. Geological Survey Benchmark Glacier Project is seeking information about researchers who are close to finishing or who have recently finished their PhD and have demonstrated research skill in the arena of mountain glacier mass balance, glacier and climate relationships, ice dynamics and glacier geophysics, and/or glacier interactions with alpine ecosystems. We want to ensure that our awareness of emergent researchers is updated, so that our response to potential future postdoc opportunities can be swift.

If you satisfy the following criteria, please send your CV and an introductory email to cflorentine@usgs.gov or lsass@usgs.gov by March 31:

  • Published lead author paper in peer reviewed journal
  • Interest or experience in mountain glacier field work
  • Familiarity with computer programming (Matlab, Python, or R)
  • Demonstrated skill in quantitative glaciology
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills

Looking forward to getting to know you!

Cheers,

Caitlyn Florentine and Louis Sass
