<p>The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia
University invites applications for a Postdoctoral
Research Scientist position in cryospheric sciences.</p>
<p>Researchers at Lamont work to understand the
dynamics of the Earth's chemical, physical and
biological systems, from the core to the upper
atmosphere, including Earth¹s interactions with
human society. Our scientists lead research in the
fields of solid Earth dynamics; ocean, atmospheric
and climate systems; cryospheric sciences;
paleoclimate and biogeoscience.</p>
<p><b>Main responsibilities:</b></p>
<p>To conduct research using existing ice-penetrating
radar datasets and physics-based mathematical
modelling to understand the flow of ice sheets.
Available data include ground-based and airborne
ice-penetrating radar data from East and West
Antarctica. These data have been collected by
researchers at Lamont-Doherty, the British Antarctic
Survey (BAS), and NASA Operation Ice Bridge. The
successful applicant will be encouraged to develop
research ideas aimed at analyzing these data with
the aid of mathematical techniques, including
modelling of ice flow and radar-wave propagation.</p>
<p><b>Experience and qualifications:</b></p>
<p>A PhD in Glaciology, Geography, Earth Sciences,
Geophysics, Applied Mathematics, Physics or a
related discipline. Excellent programming and
mathematical skills, and some experience analyzing
and interpreting ice-penetrating radar are
desirable. Evidence of the ability to conduct and
publish high quality research is also desirable.</p>
<p>Appointment will be for 1 year, with continuation
pending funding and progress.</p>
<p>Search will remain open for at least 30 days after
the ad appears and will continue until the position
is filled.</p>
