  1. Lamont Assistant Professor Research Professor
    Quaternary Climate Science
    Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory
    Columbia University
    Palisades, New York

The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) at Columbia University seeks
candidates for the Lamont Assistant Professor Research Professor
position in Quaternary climate science. The position is based in
Palisades, New York

The successful candidate will have developed an innovative, externally
funded research program in Quaternary climate studies that includes
fieldwork and laboratory analysis. Candidates with experience in the
application of isotopic tools and cosmogenic surface dating techniques
to investigate the expansion and retreat of ice sheets and glaciers are
particularly encouraged. Field experience and an understanding of
glacial geology will be important qualifications.

Candidates must have completed their PhD in a related field by the time
of appointment. Candidates with two to three years of postdoctoral
experience in a related field will be preferred.

Interested candidates should provide their curriculum vitae, list of
publications, statement of research interests, list of funded projects
and pending proposals, statement of science education and outreach
interests if applicable, and the names and addresses of at least three
references.

Application deadline: Sunday, 19 July 2015.

  1. Postdoctoral and Graduate Student Positions
    Arctic Snow Hydrology
    Wilfrid Laurier University
    Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

Wilfrid Laurier University seeks candidates for two postdoctoral and
three graduate student positions in Arctic snow hydrology. The positions
are for two years and based in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

Two postdoctoral and three Masters of Science and PhD positions are
available in a research program aimed at expanding our understanding of
the impact of a changing climate on the hydrology of the Canadian
Arctic, with focus on the snow component of the hydrological system and
its interactions with climate, vegetation and permafrost.

Fieldwork will be carried out at a remote field camp located 50
kilometers north of Inuvik, NWT, Canada, in the transition from northern
boreal forest to tundra. This research program builds on a 25 year
research data base of hydrological data and extensive remote sensing
products, and is installing and using new infrastructure such as
Unmanned Aerial Systems with multiple imaging sensors; cosmic ray
sensors for snow and soil moisture observations; eddy covariance
systems; blowing snow particle detectors; and discharge monitoring
systems. This research program is integrated with numerous national and
international research teams in order to integrate modeling, remote
sensing, ecological, and carbon flux studies with this snow hydrology
program.

Applicants with appropriate academic backgrounds, outdoor experience,
and/or modeling ability, are encouraged to apply.

Research projects include:

The Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship in Arctic Hydrology.

For further information about the Banting fellowship, go to:
http://banting.fellowships-bourses.gc.ca.

Applications including a letter of introduction, curriculum vitae, names
of three references, and a one-page statement of research interest,
should be sent to Philip March (p.marsh [at] outlook.com).

Application deadline: Wednesday, 15 July 2015.

Following selection of the candidate a full proposal will be developed
in collaboration with Dr. Marsh and submitted to Wilfrid Laurier
University by 15 August 2015.

Other postdoctoral and graduate research projects in snow hydrology could
include:

  • Controls on snow accumulation and melt across patchy (tundra, shrub,
    forest) environments;
  • The role of deep snow drifts in controlling stream flow;
  • Past changes in snow hydrology;
  • High resolution modeling of the interactions between snow, vegetation,
    active layer, and runoff; and
  • The impact of a changing climate on water resources.

Candidates in a discipline related to the project (e.g., geography,
hydrology,ecology, modeling), and with appropriate field or modeling
experience are encouraged to apply.

Applications including a letter of interest, a letter of introduction,
curriculum vitae, names of three references, and a brief statement of
research interest to Philip March (p.marsh [at] outlook.com).

Applications should be sent as soon as possible.

Dr. Marsh will encourage appropriate applicants to submit full
applications to the Department of Geography in order to begin programs
in the fall of 2015 or winter of 2016.

  1. PhD Positions
    Interdisciplinary Polar Studies
    Centre for Polar Studies
    Sosnowiec, Poland

The Interdisciplinary Polar Studies program at the Centre for Polar
Studies seeks candidates for PhD positions in the Earth sciences,
geophysics, and oceanology with focus on high latitude studies. The
positions are full-time, funded for four years (eight semesters)
starting in October 2015, and based in Sosnowiec, Poland.

The Centre for Polar Studies (CPS) has status as the Leading National
Research Centre 2014-2018. The units comprising the Centre for Polar
Studies (CPS) are: Faculty of Earth Sciences, University of Silesia;
Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences and Institute of
Oceanology, Polish Academy of Sciences. The Center aims to conduct
advanced interdisciplinary studies of the arctic and Antarctic
environment and train young researchers in the field of Earth sciences
with a focus on high latitude land, ice and marine geosystems,
ecosystems, and polar climate change. Course work will be conducted
primarily in English.

Application deadline: Saturday, 15 August 2015.
