Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Earth, Environmental, and Ocean Sciences
The deadline for completed applications for the Postdoctoral Fellowship was January 7, 2008 for Fellowships beginning in fall 2008.
Please return in September 2008 to apply for the fellowships beginning in fall 2009.
Each year, The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University selects several Postdoctoral Fellows. Fellows can come from any field of the Earth, Environmental and Ocean Sciences. Applicants, from around the world, are selected competitively on the basis of scholarly excellence. The fellowships are institutionally supported for 21 months, include a $5,000 research allowance and carry an annual stipend of $48,000. Fellowship recipients may be eligible for further internal awards and positions, and are encouraged to apply for external funding.
Lamont's mission is to understand the fundamental dynamics of our planet from the core to the uppermost reaches of our atmosphere and how these dynamics interact with the biosphere and human systems. Our principal selection criteria are excellence and interdisciplinary scope.
Current expertise and research interests at Lamont-Doherty and Columbia include solid earth dynamics (e.g. seismology, mantle dynamics, petrology/geochemistry, earthquake and rock mechanics, marine and continental tectonics/geology/geophysics), ocean and atmospheric dynamics (e.g. climate/paleoclimate, physical/chemical oceanography, El Niño dynamics and forecasting) and life sciences (e.g. biological oceanography, plant physiology, paleontology). In addition, we are also developing new programs in complex and dynamic systems, coastal and estuarine processes, earth surface processes, energy systems, terrestrial ecology, hydrology and water resources, and natural hazards. Applications from all fields are encouraged.
