[ES_JOBS_NET] Nine NSF-funded graduate student positions in Antarctic Oldest Ice Exploration and Analysis

[Christo Buizert]

The Center for Oldest Ice Exploration (COLDEX) is looking for nine 
motivated graduate students to join our multi-disciplinary team effort 
to search for the oldest ice on planet Earth. COLDEX is a 
multi-institution collaboration to explore Antarctica for the oldest 
possible polar ice core samples and analyze those samples to better 
understand the past and future of Earth’s climate system. The graduate 
research projects include airborne and ground-based geophysical 
exploration of Antarctica, Antarctic ice flow modeling, geochemical 
analysis of old (> 1 million years) ice core samples, and the transfer 
of scientific knowledge to stakeholders and the public. Participation in 
Antarctic field work is possible, but not required.

As an interdisciplinary team that values good mentoring, COLDEX strives 
to maintain a collaborative, inclusive, and equitable team culture, and 
is committed to broadening participation of people from identities 
historically minoritized in the polar sciences. We strongly encourage 
applications from Black, Indigenous, People of Color, Queer, People with 
Disabilities, First-generation, or other identities minoritized in the 
sciences.

A description of the nine positions and application instructions can be 
found at https://coldex.org/graduate-students. COLDEX hosts weekly 
graduate student information hours via ZOOM to answer any questions you 
may have. Applicants are further encouraged to email the contact person 
for the position of interest for more information. GRE scores are not 
needed to apply. The nine projects are hosted at the University of 
Washington (3), University of California San Diego (2), University of 
California Irvine (1), Oregon State University (1), University of Texas 
at Austin (1), and University of Minnesota (1).

Please forward this announcement to potential candidates, and apologies 
for cross-posting.

Best, Christo
