Specific research areas include, but are not limited to, glaciology; climatology; atmospheric and oceanic circulation; low-temperature geochemistry; paleobiological and paleoecological responses to climate change; and coupling between tectonic, climatic, environmental, and biotic processes. The Postdoctoral Associate position is awarded for one year, subject to renewal for a maximum of two years, providing a stipend ($68,000/yr) and research funds ($7,000/yr), plus health-care benefits and limited funds for relocation expenses.
