The University of Washington (UW) and Western Washington University (WWU) are recruiting a postdoc and at least one MS student to work on an NSF-supported project exploring mid-Pliocene marine heatwaves (MHWs) in the North Pacific via trace metal variability
in individual foraminifera. </div>

The postdoc will be based in the School of Oceanography at UW in Seattle, and will work in the TraceLab (<a href="http://depts.washington.edu/tracelab/" class=""><span style="color: #dca10d" class="">http://depts.washington.edu/tracelab/</span></a>). Research
will involve refining ICP-MS isotope-dilution methods and generating paleotemperature distributions based on element/calcium ratios of individual <i class="">G. bulloides </i>foraminifera. An initial 12 month appointment is renewable for up to 2.5 years. For
more information, or to apply, please see this link: <a href="https://apply.interfolio.com/118213" class="">
<span style="color: #dca10d" class="">https://apply.interfolio.com/118213</span></a>. Application deadline is December 23, 2022.</div>

The MS position(s) will be based at WWU in Bellingham in the Geology Department. Research will focus on calibrating element/calcium ratios to observed MHWs and applying those calibrations to mid-Pliocene samples at a given core location to reconstruct past
MHW behavior. For more information on WWU and the Geology graduate program please see these links:
