[ES_JOBS_NET] Paleoclimate M.S. opportunities at Western Washington Univ.

[Casey Saenger]

The Western Washington University Geology Department, located in Bellingham Washington, is soliciting applications for funded Masters Degree graduate research positions. Projects are flexible, but will broadly explore paleoclimate problems in the American west and adjacent north Pacific Ocean during the Cenozoic. Topics of particular interest include recontructing hydrologic variability and seasonality during past greenhouse intervals that may serve as analogs for future warming as well as constraining the spatiotemporal variability of north Pacific marine heatwaves. Students will have the opportunity to work with cutting edge geochemical and isotope analyses in carbonates, develop new paleoclimate proxies and learn to work with data from general circulation models of Earth’s climate. Potential opportunities to participate in field work and collaborate with scientists at the University of Washington exist. For details, contact Dr. Casey Saenger: saengec at wwu.edu<mailto:saengec at wwu.edu> or browse his website https://wp.wwu.edu/caseysaenger/

The Geology Department at Western has a diverse and welcoming faculty with opportunities for doing world class geoscience research, field work and for gaining teaching experience. WWU has a long track record of preparing graduate students to be competitive for jobs with federal and state agencies in geoscience, private sector careers, as well as going on to PhD programs. Further information on our program can be found here: https://geology.wwu.edu/prospective-graduate-students. Applications are due January 15, 2022 to start Fall 2022.
