[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Research Scientist - LDEO of Columbia University

[Aileen Goldberg]

*Postdoctoral Research Scientist* - Seimo-tectonics and Subaqueous 
Sedimentary Processes


The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University 
located in Palisades, New York, is accepting applications for a 
Postdoctoral Research Scientist position with expertise at the 
intersection of seismo-tectonics and subaqueous sedimentary processes. 
The position will support an NSF- funded project to understand sediment 
mobilization stimulated by permanent deformation and shaking near large 
submarine earthquake ruptures. Knowledge in subaqueous sedimentation is 
required. Responsibilities include: 1) use of existing data on sediments 
and their seismo-tectonic settings; 2) design, carry out, and analyze 
physical experiments where sediments are mobilized by mimicking 
earthquake motions, developing a quantitative approach in analyzing and 
interpreting results; (3) lead peer-reviewed journal articles, present 
results at conferences, and develop collaborations including 
international ones. The Postdoc will be based at LDEO in the research 
group of Professors Cecilia McHugh and Leonardo Seeber. The Postdoc will 
also spend time with Professor Chris Paola at the Saint Anthony Falls 
laboratory of the University of Minnesota.

*Qualifications:*

  * Candidates should have completed or be nearing completion of a Ph.D.
    having quantitative background and expertise on tectonics and
    subaqueous sedimentation.  Research background on subduction
    boundaries is preferred but not required.


Columbia University benefits accompany this Officer of Research Appointment.

Initial appointment will be for 1 year, with eligibility for renewal for 
up to 2 additional years contingent on performance and funding.

This search will remain open for at least 30 days after the ad appears

September 1, 2022.
