Interdepartmental Postdoctoral Fellowship in Geosciences at Yale University

The Department of Geology and Geophysics at Yale University (www.geology.yale.edu) seeks applicants for a postdoctoral fellowship in research that links geosciences (studies of the solid earth, oceans, atmosphere, climate, and the evolution of life) with other sciences, including, for example, astronomy and astrophysics; environmental studies; physics; chemistry; biology; engineering; anthropology; medical science and public health; economics and political science.

This Postdoctoral Associate position is awarded for two years, contingent on satisfactory progress, and provides a stipend ($48,000/yr) and base research funds ($5,000/yr), plus health care benefits and expenses for relocation.

The Interdepartmental Postdoctoral Fellowship will have at least two faculty collaborators: the primary sponsor will be from Geology and Geophysics, while others are from one or more other Yale departments. Interested candidates should first contact a faculty member in Geology and Geophysics to define a research theme and to identify other appropriate faculty collaborators.

Applicants should submit a curriculum vita, a list of publications, an interdisciplinary research proposal (2-3 pages, in which the Yale collaborators are identified), and a brief letter of endorsement from each of the Yale faculty collaborators. Applicants should also arrange for three reference letters to be sent directly to the Department. The deadline for receipt of all application materials is January 2, 2008, and decisions will be announced by February 29, 2008. Successful candidates are expected to begin their program at Yale between July 1 and December 31, 2008.

Application materials and reference letters should be sent by email (interdepartmental.fellowship@geology.yale.edu) or by post: Interdepartmental Postdoctoral Fellowship, Yale University, Department of Geology and Geophysics, PO Box 208109, New Haven, CT 06520-8109. Yale University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer; applications from women and minority scientists are strongly encouraged.
