We welcome applicants with research interests across the full range of disciplines within Earth and planetary sciences, including studies of geophysics, planetary sciences, tectonics, oceans, atmosphere, climate dynamics, geochemistry, paleoclimatology, paleontology, geobiology, and the evolution of life. The Postdoctoral Associate position is awarded for one year, subject to renewal for a maximum of two years, providing a stipend ($63,000/yr) and research funds ($7,000/yr), plus health care benefits and some funds for relocation expenses.
