Job Title: William E. White Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering
The position is funded by the Department of Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering at Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
The William E. White Postdoctoral Fellowship, created from a fund endowed by the estate of William E. White, will be awarded to an outstanding scientist who has completed a Ph.D. degree, normally within the two-year period preceding the time of the appointment.

Potential applicants may obtain an outline of current research interests on the Departmental website http://www.queensu.ca/geol/home and are required to initiate contact with a potential faculty supervisor in advance of applying.
