Postdoctoral Associate, Earth Sciences
The Department of Earth Sciences is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join an interdisciplinary team to populate a new, open-source relational database (RAD-CI) with Greenland-wide radiocarbon-based relative sea level (RSL) data and leverage this dataset for a comprehensive analysis of Greenland RSL changes since the last deglaciation.
Duties include but are not limited to:
- The analysis will include statistical modeling (e.g., STEHME) to bridge spatial and temporal data gaps and interpolate beyond field-accessible regions.
- Using the resulting statistical product, the candidate will characterize spatiotemporal trends in Greenland RSL since the last deglaciation, with particular emphasis on the Greenland Ice Sheet history and the influence of the North American Ice Sheet Complex forebulge.
- The candidate will calculate misfit values between the statistically modeled RSL and glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) model predictions of RSL to identify modifications to the ice history and Earth parameters that may improve data-model agreement.
- Our benefits , where we prioritize your well-being and success to enhance every aspect of your life.
- Being a part of the University at Buffalo community.
As an Equal Opportunity / Affirmative Action employer, the Research Foundation will not discriminate in its employment practices due to an applicant’s race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin and veteran or disability status.
Minimum Qualifications A PhD (or foreign equivalent) in Earth Sciences or a related field.
Preferred Qualifications
- Laboratory knowledge of generating relative sea level data, including the ability to critically evaluate radiocarbon data prior to uploading to the RAD-CI database, and techniques in relative sea level generation, including isolation basin lake sediment cores and raised marine terraces and sediments.
- Experience working in field sites on Greenland for data acquisition.
- Experience working with relational databases.
- Logistical experience in hosting workshops (related to RAD-CI input techniques).
- Familiarity with the Greenland RSL literature to accelerate data input and identify key regions for data-model comparison, particularly in northwest Greenland.
