This competitive fellowship is open to individuals who aspire to develop research programs of their own as faculty members. The College of Geosciences is one of the nation’s most comprehensive Earth-system colleges and is committed to the discovery, advancement and application of knowledge fundamental to understanding our planet and its resources for a sustainable future. Our disciplinary research and educational excellence are built on cutting-edge analyses and observations, numerical simulations and theoretical studies, and field-based data collection at all spatial and temporal scales. The selected candidate(s) will subscribe to and support our commitment to Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accountability (IDEA) as stated above. The goals of the GFF Postdoctoral Research Associate Fellowship are to advance interdisciplinary research, increase diversity within the geosciences and develop future leaders.

We welcome applicants with research interests connected to one of our four departments- Atmospheric Sciences, Geography, Geology & Geophysics, and Oceanography.
