Postdoctoral Fellow/Visiting Scientist Opportunity with the Global Volcanism Program
************************************************************************************************
Global Volcanism Program Fellowship:
Postdoctoral Fellow/Visiting Scientist
The Smithsonian Institution’s Global Volcanism Program (GVP) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow/Visiting Scientist position. Competitive candidates will address problems in volcanology important on a global scale and/or volcanic systematics on regional/global scales from physical volcanological, petrological, and/or geochemical perspectives. GVP maintains a database (Volcanoes of the World 4.0) of ~10,000 eruptions from ~1,500 Holocene volcanoes. The Department of Mineral Sciences is home to the National Rock and Ore Collections as well as extensive preparatory and analytical equipment including experimental petrology labs, experimental volcanology lab, EMPA, FEG SEM, FTIR, XRD, cathodoluminescence, and wet chemistry. To apply, please email a project proposal (5 page maximum including all figures, tables, and references), CV, dates of proposed tenure, and names of at least two references familiar with your work to Benjamin Andrews (andrewsb@xxxxxx) . The position is for one year and renewable (for postdocs, not visiting scientists) for a second year pending progress. The stipend is $53,000/yr + $3,000 for health insurance. Research funds are not directly allocated for this position. There are, however, no fees for use of Smithsonian analytical facilities. Drs. Cottrell and Andrews will cover expenses that arise during collaborative research.
If you have applied previously and wish to be considered with this round of proposals, please submit new application materials.
Review of applications will begin 3 December 2013 and we hope to contact the successful candidate by 20 December 2013.
For further information, contact Benjamin Andrews, andrewsb@xxxxxx . The Smithsonian Institution is an equal opportunity employer.
