The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University located in
Palisades, New York, invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research
Scientist position in the Uno Terrestrial Paleoecology Lab.  The position
will focus on applying biomarker approaches to reconstructing fire history
in the Neogene of Africa with a particular focus on the Pleistocene of the
Turkana Basin, Kenya. The work will involve (1) sampling, analysis, and
interpretation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) data extracted
from wide range of sediments, (2) statistical analysis of PAHs to
differentiate pyrogenic from petrogenic sources, and 3) integration of this
data with existing vegetation and hydroclimate data for the region.
Candidates with prior experience in these lab skills or analytical
approaches are strongly preferred. Past and ongoing work on Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion efforts in STEM or the Earth Sciences is also
preferred. The candidate will be expected to work collaboratively with
members of the lab group and colleagues at other institutions.

*Qualifications*
Candidates should have completed or be nearing completion of a PhD in
organic geochemistry or a related earth science field at the time of
application. Excellent communication, interpersonal and organizational
skills and ability to use independent judgment required. Evidence of the
ability to conduct and publish high quality research is required.

Appointment will be for 1-year, with continuation pending progress.
The search will remain open for at least 30 days after the ad appears and
will continue until the position is filled.
The desired start date for this position is on or around January 1, 2022.
Columbia University benefits offered with this Officer of Research

applications from members of underrepresented minority groups.
