Examining "peels" from NCED's Experimental Earthscapes Facility

Postdoctoral Research Positions National Center for Earth-surface Dynamics

NCED has three to six positions for postdoctoral researchers in Earth-surface dynamics. The Centers research focus is channels and channel networks with a strong emphasis on linking ecology and morphodynamics.

The postdoctoral researchers hired under this announcement will form the nucleus of NCED's Synthesis Group, playing a lead role in synthesizing NCED research results into models and modeling algorithms. A Ph.D. at the date of appointment with quantitative proficiency and a taste for collaborative research are essential; experience in morphodynamics and/or ecology, especially with a modeling emphasis, is highly desirable.

Synthesis Group postdocs may be sited at any NCED research institution: St. Anthony Falls Laboratory (University of Minnesota), University of California Berkeley, University of Illinois, or the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Regardless of where each postdoc is based, activities of the Synthesis Group are expected to be highly collaborative across locations and research specialties. All members of the Synthesis Group will maintain close contact with each other and all NCED researchers via regular meetings and videoconferencing.

Applicants should send a CV with names of three references to Rochelle Storfer, National Center for Earth-surface Dynamics, St. Anthony Falls Laboratory, Mississippi River at Third Ave. SE, Minneapolis, MN  55414.

Note: your CV should indicate the focus area(s) of your current and recent research, as well as a description of specific research ongoing/done.

The University of Minnesota is an equal opportunity educator and employer.
