The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, American Museum of Natural History, seeks a candidate for a unique, 3-year postdoctoral fellowship consisting of 75% research and 25% education. The research will be conducted in fields related to the interests of curatorial faculty member Denton S. Ebel (see staff list at http://research.amnh.org/eps/ ), particularly research that uses the meteorite and/or sedimentary record to understand what chondrite meteorites reveal about the early solar system, and/or what impact ejecta reveal about Earth history. The teaching component supports an innovative Master-of-Arts in Teaching (MAT) program (http://www.amnh.org/learn-teach/master-of-arts-in-teaching ) designed to educate teacher candidates in both the science and pedagogy required to successfully teach the New York State Regents Earth sciences curriculum, which includes about 50% Earth history topics. Field experience is an advantage in this regard.
