[Cig-jobpostings] Postdoctoral Fellowship in Geophysics - Carnegie Institution for Science, DTM, Washington, DC

[Driscoll, Peter]

*Postdoctoral Fellowship in Geophysics - Carnegie Institution for Science,
DTM, Washington, DC*

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral fellowship to conduct
independent research in geophysics. The Geophysics group in the Department
of Terrestrial Magnetism currently consists of researchers working in the
fields of mantle and core geodynamics, seismology, and volcanology. Related
research fields on our campus include geochemistry, cosmochemistry,
planetary astronomy, and mineral physics. The successful applicant’s
primary field of research should overlap with those of the Geophysics
group, but collaboration with other research areas on campus is encouraged.

Our fellows have access to a wide range of facilities. Scientific computing
resources include the Carnegie Memex cluster in addition to local computing
resources. DTM fellowships provide support for conference and meeting
travel, computing, and the publication of results from postdoctoral work.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. in a relevant field by the time of
appointment and a promising record of research and publication. Fellows are
expected to begin in Fall 2017.  A C.V., list of publications, short
description of thesis research, brief (2-3 page) statement of research
plans during the postdoctoral fellowship, and three letters of
recommendation by those familiar with your work should be submitted online
athttps://jobs.carnegiescience.edu/jobs/dtm/ by 1 December 2016.
Creativity in the proposed research figures heavily in the evaluation of
the application. Fellowships are for one year and are normally renewable
for a second year. Address any questions you have to

*The Carnegie Institution is an equal opportunity employer.  All qualified
applicants will receive consideration for employment and will not be
