[ES_JOBS_NET] 2024 Carnegie Postdoctoral Fellowships at the Earth and Planets Laboratory

[Diana Roman]

The Earth and Planets Laboratory (EPL), a division of the Carnegie
Institution for Science, invites applications for postdoctoral
fellowships at its campus in Washington, DC. Multiple positions are
available.  EPL scientists engage in observational, experimental and
theoretical research in fields including geophysics, geodynamics,
geochemistry, geobiology, volcanology, experimental petrology and
mineral physics, planetary science, cosmochemistry, astrobiology,
astronomy, data science, and the chemistry and physics of materials. 
Applicants’ primary field of research should overlap with one or more
of these areas. Interdisciplinary research and collaboration with
multiple research areas on campus is encouraged. New fellows will join
a supportive community of about 25 postdoctoral scientists and 30 staff
and research scientists engaged in understanding the origin and
evolution of Earth and planets and materials under extreme conditions.
More information about our research and facilities can be viewed at
https://epl.carnegiescience.edu and about our postdoctoral fellowships
and experience at https://epl.carnegiescience.edu/postdoctoral.

Our postdoctoral fellows have access to: world-class laboratory
facilities in analytical geochemistry and cosmochemistry, high-pressure
research, materials spectroscopy, and astrobiology;  state-of-the-art
computational facilities to support theoretical and data-analytic
investigations; and Carnegie’s Las Campanas Observatory. Funding is
available for travel to scientific conferences and observation sites,
as well as publications. At EPL, we value a culture of mentoring and
offer professional development opportunities specifically for post-
doctoral scientists. The Carnegie Institution strives to enable a
scientifically excellent, equitable, and inclusive community, and
therefore aims for diverse groups of people to collaborate and thrive.

Carnegie Postdoctoral Fellowships are awarded once a year. The
Fellowship is initially for one year but is typically renewed for up to
a total of 2 years. The positions allow start dates between July 1 and
December 31, 2024. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in a relevant field
at the time of the start of the fellowship. The principal selection
criteria will be research accomplishment, promise of future
achievement, originality and achievability of the research proposal,
independence, and relevance to the ongoing scientific pursuits at EPL.
Only complete applications submitted online at
https://jobs.carnegiescience.edu/jobs/postdoctoral-fellowships-at-the-earth-and-planets-laboratory/
will be considered and must include: 1) a cover letter (1 page max), 2)
curriculum vitae, 3) list of publications; 4) research plan / proposal
(4 mages max, inclusive of figures and references), 5) a brief
description of previous research (3 pages max, all inclusive); and 6)
contact information for three references familiar with the applicant’s
work who will submit letters of support.  Applicants may use the cover
letter to describe their prior, ongoing, and/or new ideas for efforts
to create an equitable, positive, and inclusive working environment.
The deadline for all application materials is November 13, 2023.
