The University at Buffalo (UB) and Northern Arizona University (NAU) invite applications for two Postdoctoral Research Associates to join a National Science Foundation-funded project to explore patterns and processes of rapid Arctic warming events by combining paleoclimate proxies and models. These positions will be for one year, with potential to extend, and will be located in either Buffalo, New York or Flagstaff, Arizona.
The UB postdoc will generate and interpret, using traditional frameworks and proxy system models, high-resolution lipid biomarker and compound-specific stable isotope records from lakes around the Arctic Ocean seaboard.
The NAU postdoc will use an emerging Arctic paleoclimate database and climate model simulations to examine the spatial and temporal dynamics of abrupt warming events in the Arctic.
Along with the rest of the project team, the postdocs will improve understanding of the mechanisms behind Arctic climate responses to rapid warming. The positions include stipends and benefits, and are supported for one year, with the possibility of extending to a second year.
Minimum qualifications for UB include:
- PhD in (Paleo)climate science, atmospheric sciences, geochemistry, meteorology, or other related fields;
- Leadership in scientific peer-reviewed publications; and
- Experience generating and interpreting lipid biomarker and/or stable isotope paleoclimate proxy records
Beneficial experience for UB include:
- Experience with climate or proxy system models, and
- Experience with scientific computing (e.g., R, Matlab, Python, etc.).
Minimum qualifications for NAU include:
- PhD in (Paleo)climate science, atmospheric sciences, meteorology, applied mathematics/statistics, or other related fields;
- Leadership in scientific peer-reviewed publications; and
- Scientific computing (e.g., R, Matlab, Python, etc.).
Beneficial experience for NAU include:
- Familiarity with paleoclimate proxies and uncertainties, and
- Experience with climate or proxy system models.
Applications must include a curriculum vitae, a cover letter, and the contact information for three references.
Applicants may visit the project webpage or contact Dr. Elizabeth Thomas (ekthomas [at] buffalo.edu) or Dr. Nick McKay (Nicholas.McKay [at] nau.edu) for more information.
Application review begins: 6 January 2023 and will continue until the position is filled
