[Erika Marín-Spiotta]

POSTDOCTORAL SCHOLAR IN DATA MINING FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL GEOSCIENCES



Penn State’s Earth and Environmental Systems Institute is seeking a
postdoctoral scholar to work on a recently funded NSF project to explore
the distribution of methane concentrations and emissions in natural waters
in regions of shale gas development.  We seek one postdoc for a one-year
term with excellent chances for reappointment (funding is available for up
to 3 years). The best candidate will have a background in both geosciences
and computing and will work in an interdisciplinary team.

The best candidate will have been trained in the domains of oil and gas
geology, hydrology, or geochemistry but will also have basic computational
skills including (1) proficiency in programming languages such as R and
Matlab, and (2) experience in using programming to process and analyze
data, run analytic models, and plot results. Experience in using ArcGIS to
visualize geo-spatial data would be helpful.

The postdoc will work with Susan Brantley and Zhenhui (Jessie) Li in a team
with graduate students and will be exposed to environmental geosciences and
data mining techniques. Candidates should include a letter of interest, a
CV, and contact information for three references with your application.
Please contact Jessie Li (jessieli at ist.psu.edu) or Susan Brantley (
brantley at geosc.psu.edu) with questions.
