[ES_JOBS_NET] Open Rank - Postdoctoral or Associate Research Scientist at LDEO

[Aileen Goldberg]

*Open Rank – Postdoctoral or Associate Research Scientist - Volcanology
*

With support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the 
Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University located in 
Palisades, New York, is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Scientist or 
Associate Research Scientist to work on the project AVERT: Anticipating 
Volcanic Eruptions in Real Time (https://avert.ldeo.columbia.edu/). The 
project aims to establish an open-data, real-time, multi-sensor 
experiment on Okmok and Cleveland volcanoes in Alaska in order to 
develop data streams and forecasts for highly active volcanic systems. 
Classic “closed’ and “open” volcanoes, Okmok and Cleveland will serve as 
testing grounds for the use of multi-sensor, satellite-telemetered 
arrays to understand eruption run-up, triggering and precursors. A 
multi-year logistics platform will engage partners in this community 
experiment.

The candidate will work with a team of Principal Investigators at the 
Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, the Alaska Volcano Observatory and 
other project partners. Efforts would include developing open tools for 
analyzing real-time mulit-sensor data, taking part in field deployments, 
helping organize field logistics, and engaging in outreach to 
stakeholders and inreach to the science community. The candidate is 
encouraged to conduct original research using the AVERT data.

*_Qualifications:_*

A Ph.D. in a relevant field is required by the date of hire. Preferred 
qualifications include prior field work on active volcanoes, published 
research involving volcano seismology and/or geodesy, excellent 
communication and organizational skills, and experience in machine 
learning, edge computing, data assimilation and/or forecasting 
models. Applicants will be eligible for either the rank of Postdoctoral 
Research Scientist or Associate Research Scientist based on post-Ph.D. 
years of experience.

Columbia University benefits are offered with this Officer of Research 
appointment.

Associate Research Scientist appointments are made on a fiscal year 
basis and are eligible for renewal each July 1, contingent upon 
performance and funding.  Postdoc appointments are annual and based on 
hire date. Funding is currently in place for two years.
