1.Assistant Professor Polar Paleoclimatology

The College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences (CEOAS) at Oregon State University (OSU) in Corvallis, Oregon invites applications full-time (twelve-month) tenure track assistant professor position in paleoclimatology and the Quaternary history of the polar regions. This position is anticipated to begin winter or spring 2019.

The successful candidate will develop and maintain a vigorous, externally funded program that complements or strengthens existing CEOAS research programs and that employs a full range of approaches to reconstructing past climate from polar ice cores and linkages between high latitude and global processes, including developing novel geochemical approaches for climate reconstruction using trapped gases and other proxies, quantitative analysis of paleoclimate time series, and field work in polar regions. This candidate is expected to raise significant external research funds and to teach lower-division, non-major courses in climate change related topics and/or upper division/graduate courses that center around paleoclimate data analysis, glaciology, or topics related to their research specialty.

2.Assistant/Associate Professor in Geochemistry of Near Surface Environments

The Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Isotope Geochemistry and/or Analytical Geochemistry of Near Surface Environments at the assistant professor level. Exceptional candidates at the associate professor level will also be considered. We seek a colleague who creatively uses isotopic and/or analytical approaches to understand processes and changes in near surface environments in modern and ancient systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, biosphere, and/or the upper crust. Successful applicants will be expected to contribute to a diverse research and teaching community in the Department of Earth Sciences through the development of a vigorous, internationally recognized and externally funded research program, through teaching courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and through service in the department, college, and university. The Department of Earth Sciences is part of the College of Science and Engineering and houses research programs as well as state-of-the-art analytical facilities spanning a broad spectrum of Earth Science disciplines (further information is available at: http://www.esci.umn.edu).

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in the geosciences or a related field at the time of appointment. Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, research statement, teaching statement, names and contact information of three references, and, if applicable, a list of any planned presentations at conferences in fall of 2018. These materials must be submitted online

3.Postdoctoral Researcher - Physical Oceanography

A two-year postdoctoral position in physical oceanography is available at the Earth and Ocean Sciences Division in the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University. The postdoctoral researcher, under the supervision of Susan Lozier, is expected to work on projects related to the Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program (OSNAP; www.o-snap.org). Example projects include: 1) a study of the mechanisms responsible for variability in the volume, heat and freshwater fluxes across the OSNAP line, 2) an investigation of the linkages between the transport and properties of the overflow waters across the Greenland-Scotland Ridge and the variability of these overflow waters in the subpolar gyre, and 3) the impact of OSNAP dynamics on the downstream variability in the North Atlantic basin. Postdoctoral researchers are also expected to work with the PI to develop new research projects.

The initial term of the appointment will be 12 months, with the possibility of extension based on performance.

4.Postdoctoral fellows and non-tenured research professor

Several postdoctoral fellows and non-tenured research professor positions, supported by Science Research Center program (SRC) of Korean National Research Foundation are now available at a newly-opened 'Irreversible Climate Change Research Center' (IRCC center) at Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea. Postdoctoral fellow and research professor have ample opportunities for research collaboration with professors in IRCC center. Areas of research interests for the positions are climate dynamics or related fields, including global ocean climate change, paleoclimate dynamics, cryosphere dynamics, bio-climate interaction, carbon cycle, especially focusing on abrupt climate change and tipping point problem. A CGCM expert would be preferential. The positions are available immediately and will remain open until filled. Initial appointment will be for a year, with an excellent possibility of renewal for one or more years until the ending of the SRC program (7-year project). The salary will be competitive, commensurate with experience, and will comply with Yonsei University's Postdoctoral fellow and research professor guidelines. To apply to the position, please email a single file containing a letter of interest and CV to Prof. Soon-Il An (sian@yonsei.ac.kr; Chief of SRC center), and later may ask for contact information for three references. For the question, also email to sian@yonsei.ac.kr.

5.PhD Studentship Opportunity: Volcano Geophysics

A PhD studentship funded by Devora (Determining Volcanic Risk for Auckland; http://www.devora.org.nz/ ) is available to investigate the interplay of basement and volcanic architecture at the Auckland Volcanic Field (AVF) and Whangarei Volcanic Field (WVF) using geophysical methods. Auckland is New Zealand's largest city and the student will be awarded a degree from the University of Auckland (https://www.auckland.ac.nz/).

The project aims are to firstly understand the internal architecture of Rangitoto Volcano, the youngest, largest, and most anomalous in the intraplate AVF. Unlike other volcanoes in the AVF, recent dating indicates Rangitoto has erupted in 3 distinct episodes in the last 1500 years. Long lived activity is a marked departure from all other eruptions of the AVF and may represent a significant change in magmatism driving the AVF with important implications for future activity. It is unclear however, if Rangitoto represents a single volcano with multiple eruptive episodes from a single feeder conduit, or if it is comprised of several overlapping but genetically distinct volcanoes coincidently erupted at the same site (Needham et al. 2011). Despite extensive study, at least 5 different models of the internal architecture of the island exist (Hayward 2017) and geophysical data (existing and to be acquired) will be used to further resolve the issue to better predict future AVF behaviour.

The position will be at the assistant professor level, although exceptional candidates at the associate level will be considered. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, tectonics, geomechanics, observational seismology, and geodynamics. We are interested in a broad range of expertise, but candidates whose research focuses on lithospheric structure and evolution, plate boundary tectonics, earthquake physics, fault system growth and evolution, or mantle dynamics are especially encouraged. We seek a colleague who will complement and build on existing strengths in geosciences at the University. The successful candidate is expected to build an externally funded research program, to be committed to effective teaching and mentoring at all levels, and to contribute to the academic life of the Department and University.
