period of 18 months with the possibility of extension to two years.


 The Department of Geosciences is part of the College of Earth and Mineral
Sciences, and houses internationally recognized research programs spanning
a broad spectrum of Earth Science disciplines, including earth surface
dynamics, geodynamics, crustal evolution, petrology, volcanology and
tectonics, paleobiology, hydrology, Earth system science, (paleo)climate,
paleoceanography and cryospheric science, microbial geobiology and
biogeochemistry, Earth and planetary system evolution, solid-earth and

should explore possible research topics with faculty in the Department of
Geosciences, and develop a short (no longer than 5 pages including figures

period. Preference will be given to candidates whose proposals involve
collaboration among two or more departmental faculty members, particularly
