Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Earth, Environmental, and Ocean Sciences

Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University invites applications for Postdoctoral fellowships in the fields of the earth, environmental or ocean sciences. Candidates should have recently completed their Ph.D. or should expect to complete their degree requirements by September, 2011.

Researchers at the Observatory work to understand the dynamics of the earth's chemical, physical and biological systems, from the core to the upper atmosphere, including interactions with humankind. The principal selection criteria for Fellows are scientific excellence and a clearly expressed plan to investigate problems at the forefront of earth science.

Our scientists lead research in the fields of solid earth dynamics (e.g. seismology, geodesy, mantle dynamics, petrology/geochemistry, earthquake and rock mechanics, marine and continental tectonics/geology/geophysics), ocean and atmospheric dynamics (e.g. climate/paleoclimate, climate forecasting, physical/chemical oceanography) and life sciences (e.g. biological oceanography, biogeosciences, plant physiology, paleontology). Applications from all fields are encouraged. In additional we are also developing programs in the ocean's role in the global carbon cycle, coastal and estuarine processes, terrestrial ecology, natural hazards, and cryosphere studies.

The fellowships are supported institutionally for 21 months, include a $5,000 research allowance, and carry an annual stipend of $52,000. Successful candidates will be encouraged to apply for external funding and may be eligible for further internal awards and positions.

The deadline for completed applications for the Postdoctoral Fellowship is January 7, 2011. Award announcement will be in April, 2011.


Application forms should be completed online and submitted electronically:
