[ES_JOBS_NET] One Postdoc and one graduate student (PhD or MS) in Paleoclimatology

[Elizabeth Thomas]

One Postdoc and one graduate student (PhD or MS) in Paleoclimatology 
Location: University at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY 
Start date: Spring or summer 2025

The Paleoclimate Dynamics Lab <http://www.glyfac.buffalo.edu/Faculty/ekthomas/people.html> in the Department of Geology at the University at Buffalo is seeking applications for a Postdoctoral Associate and a graduate student (at MS or PhD level) to join an NSF-funded interdisciplinary project to explore rapid climate and ecosystem change in Southeast Alaska, by combining paleoclimate proxies and models. Both will be based in the Geology Department at the University at Buffalo and will collaborate closely with grant partners, including multiple graduate students, another postdoctoral researcher, and three professors (Charlotte Lindqvist, <https://arts-sciences.buffalo.edu/biological-sciences/faculty/faculty-directory/charlotte-lindqvist.html> Corey Krabbenhoft <https://arts-sciences.buffalo.edu/biological-sciences/faculty/faculty-directory/corey-krabbenhoft.html>, and Jason Briner <https://arts-sciences.buffalo.edu/geology/faculty-staff/faculty/jason-briner.html>). UB is a global leader in interdisciplinary <https://www.buffalo.edu/renew.html> polar climate research <https://arts-sciences.buffalo.edu/geology/research/climate-change.html> and in climate action <https://www.buffalo.edu/climate-action.html>. We will begin to review applications October 1, 2024.

Position Descriptions: 

The Paleoclimate Dynamics Lab’s role in this project is to develop age-depth models for lake sediment cores collected in Southeast Alaska, and to generate and interpret, using traditional frameworks and proxy system models, lipid biomarker and compound-specific stable isotope records from lakes in Alaska. Along with the rest of the project team, the postdoc and student will improve understanding of the mechanisms behind Arctic climate, ice sheet, and ecosystem responses to rapid warming. The postdoc will take part in coordination and mentoring of students, research, and outreach activities, and in course planning. All participants will be involved with field work and outreach in Southeast Alaska and cross-disciplinary project activities through project team meetings, journal seminars, and workshops.

How to Apply: 
Postdoc: https://www.ubjobs.buffalo.edu/postings/52444
The Earth Science Postdoctoral Fellow will start spring or summer 2025. Review of applications for the Earth Science position will begin October 1, 2024 and will be accepted until the position has been filled.

Graduate student: https://arts-sciences.buffalo.edu/geology/graduate/admissions.html  <https://arts-sciences.buffalo.edu/geology/graduate/admissions.html>
Applications for admission to the Earth Science graduate program (starting classes Fall 2025) are due 15 December 2022 for full priority consideration.
