Post-Doctoral Research Scientist in Paleoclimate and Sea Level Studies

The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University invites applications for a full-time post-doctoral research scientist position within the fields of paleoclimatology and sea level studies. The successful candidate will join a dynamic and interdisciplinary group of scientists working on a wide range of interrelated problems examining Earth’s past climate history, ocean chemistry and circulation, ice sheet stability, sea level, and the interactions of the solid Earth, ocean, and cryosphere.


The successful applicant will join a project led by Dr. Maureen Raymo studying how sea level and ice volume have changed in the past, especially during past warm periods. The successful candidate will undertake fieldwork and related analyses leading to a better understanding of Plio-Pleistocene sea level history.  This work will be part of the larger collaborative PLIOMAX project and target locations in the circum-Indian and Atlantic Ocean regions.
