1) Reginald A. Daly Postdoctoral Research Fellowship – Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences Harvard University
The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University invites applicants for the Reginald A. Daly Postdoctoral Research Fellowship.
The Department seeks candidates in the broad field of Earth and Planetary Sciences including but not limited to: geology, geochemistry, oceanography, Earth history, geobiology, hydrology, mineralogy, mineral physics, paleomagnetism, atmospheric dynamics, atmospheric chemistry, climate science, seismology, structural geology, geodynamics, petrology, geophysics, and planetary sciences. We welcome methodological approaches that span field observations, lab-based science, theory, and computation.
These honorific postdoctoral fellowships are awarded for a one-year period, with an anticipated extension for a second year. Daly fellows carry out independent research and may choose to interact with one or more research groups in the department. Applicants are welcome to contact members of the department before applying.
The annual salary is $70,000 with additional funds of $5,000 per year available for research and travel support.
Applicants should have a recent Ph.D. or should be 2021-degree candidates. Completion of the Ph.D. is required by the time of the appointment. The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences is keenly interested in diversifying its department and encourages applications from diverse candidates, including from women and minorities. Harvard University is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy and pregnancy-related considerations, or any other characteristic protected by law.
Applications should include a curriculum vitae and a two-page research proposal, as well as the names, affiliations, and email addresses of three referees. Applicants are responsible for contacting the referees. Referees would need to have their letters uploaded to the link provided by the application site. Applications and letters are due January 1, 2021 and should be submitted (along with reference letters) through
http://academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/9782
Questions for the Daly Search Committee can be sent to Emily Bowman, Academic Coordinator, ebowman@fas.harvard.edu.

2) MS or PhD opportunities in crustal deformation – Kansas University
Prof. Noel Bartlow is recruiting MS and PhD students at the University of Kansas in the broad areas of crustal deformation and slow slip. NSF funding is available to work with seafloor optical fiber strainmeter data in Cascadia, to be deployed in 2021. Other funding sources also available. Please contact Dr. Bartlow at nbartlow@ku.edu for more information and to discuss research interest fit.

3) President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program – The University of Minnesota College of Science and Engineering
About the program
The University of Minnesota College of Science and Engineering (CSE) is pleased to announce its commitment to a new CSE-President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (CSE-PPFP). The program is a partnership with the University of Minnesota’s Institute for Diversity, Equity, and Advocacy (IDEA) that aims to make CSE more diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
Building a more diverse community
The CSE program builds from the existing University of Minnesota President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (UMN PPFP). The program seeks applicants whose research, teaching, and service will contribute to the University of Minnesota’s Office of Equity and Diversity’s mission, vision and values.
While the UMN PPFP defines diversity broadly, the emphasis of the CSE-PPFP partnership will be on Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) candidates, and we strongly encourage such applicants.
Program starts in fall 2021
Three Fellows will be recruited for fall 2021 and three additional Fellows will be recruited for fall 2022 to create a steady-state cohort of six Fellows, based on a two-year position for each Fellow. The college will support a CSE-PPFP Community where Fellows engage with each other, access faculty mentoring from diverse perspectives, network with industry and alumni, and emerge as strong candidates for tenure track positions at the University of Minnesota.
We look forward to welcoming our first cohort of CSE-PPFP Fellows in 2021!

4) Post-Doctoral Scholarship – Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
The newly formed Ocean Bottom Seismic Instrument Center (OBSIC) at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) announces a competition for a Postdoctoral Scholar Fellowship. OBSIC’s mission is to support discovery of the earth’s internal structure and its dynamic processes using seafloor seismic measurements. (See https://obsic.whoi.edu/.) The OBSIC Postdoctoral Fellowship, recognizing the importance of marine seismology and ocean-bottom seismic instrumentation to continued discovery in Earth Sciences, aims to help maintain the strength of the field by supporting instrumentation-focused research and development.
You are invited to apply for this Postdoctoral Fellowship for any project related to: 1) advancing our knowledge of earth structure with an emphasis on using ocean-bottom seismograph data, including the development and/or application of new analytical methodologies; 2) research and engineering in the area of seafloor seismic instrumentation, including the development and/or application of new sensors; 3) understanding earthquake-related processes using seafloor seismology and/or geodesy; 4) advancing our knowledge of the interplay between seafloor seismic measurements and oceanographic processes; and 5) other projects within this broad scope. The successful candidate may choose to carry out research with faculty in any of WHOI’s science and engineering departments, with staff at the USGS Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center, or a combination thereof.
Completed applications will be accepted up to October 15, 2020 for consideration for Postdoctoral Scholar Awards for 2021-2022. Recipients of awards can initiate their study and research period at the Institution any time after January 1, 2021 and before December 1, 2021.
Specific questions about this postdoctoral fellowship position can be addressed to the OBSIC Director, John Collins at jcollins@whoi.edu
Further information and application forms may be obtained through the Academic Programs section of the WHOI web pages at www.whoi.edu/postdoctoral, or by contacting: The WHOI Postdoctoral Coordinator Telephone: (508) 289-2950 ۰ E-mail: postdoc@whoi.edu
