Candidates with research interests in both ice sheet processes and geodynamics are encouraged to apply. The position (s) is a full-time 2-year appointment, with the opportunity of continuation and growth depending on progress and availability of funding.

Requirements: A recent Ph.D. in geophysics, glaciology or a related discipline is required.
