Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University invites
applications for the Provost’s Postdoctoral Research Scientist/Scholar
Program. The goal of this program is to enhance the recruitment of
outstanding postdoctoral scholars from underrepresented groups to more
closely reflect the composition of the national pool of qualified
candidates. The program strongly encourages applications from
promising scholars from historically underrepresented groups,
including but not limited to:  Blacks/African-Americans; Hispanics;
Native Americans/Alaska Natives; persons having origins in any of the
original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, or Samoa.  Applicants must be US
citizens or permanent residents who have recently completed their
Ph.D. in the earth, environmental or ocean sciences, or expect to
complete their degree requirements by September 2013. Individuals who
received their terminal degree from Columbia University or who have

re not eligible for this program.

Researchers at LDEO 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. LDEO 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 related fields are encouraged.
The principal selection criteria are scientific excellence and a
clearly expressed plan to investigate problems at the forefront of
earth science.

This is a three-year postdoctoral appointment and carries an annual
stipend of $58,000 with a research allowance of $5,000. The deadline
for completed applications is December 21, 2012.  Award announcements
will be made in February 2013.
