The National Science Foundation's Office of Polar Programs (NSF/OPP)
seeks candidates for Program Director of the Antarctic Earth Sciences
(AES) Program. This position will replace Dr. Thomas Wilch, who will

The AES Program encompasses research in all aspects of geology,
geophysics, and geochemistry to understand the Antarctic continent and
the adjacent ocean basin.
Areas of ongoing research include:
- Studies of tectonics and physical/chemical processes that shape
Antarctica; - Paleoenvironmental/paleobiological research to understand Antarctica's
role in global climate, ocean circulation, and the evolution of life;
and - Use of sediment records and geophysics to reconstruct the history of
Antarctic ice sheets and determine the geological controls on their
formation and stability.
Applicants must possess a PhD or have equivalent experience in geology,
geophysics, or a related discipline, plus a minimum of six years of
research, research administration, and/or managerial experience
