Funding will be for one year, with a second year available conditional upon satisfactory progress.

Expertise is required in one or more of the following areas: quantitative paleobiology, quantitative stratigraphy, sedimentary geochemistry, biogeochemical modeling. Experience in SQL, R, and other scripting languages desirable. Applicants should have a successful publication record, demonstrated quantitative skills, and programming experience.
