Job Description The Earth and Planets Laboratory (EPL), a division of the Carnegie Institution for Science, invites applications for postdoctoral fellowships at its campus in Washington, DC. Multiple independent research fellowships are available in our interdisciplinary basic research laboratory covering a wide range of fields. EPL scientists engage in observational, experimental and theoretical research in fields including astronomy, cosmochemistry, data science, experimental petrology, geobiology, geochemistry, geodynamics, geophysics, mineral physics, planetary science, physics and chemistry of materials, seismology, and volcanology. Applicants’ primary field of research should overlap with one or more of these areas. Interdisciplinary research and collaboration with multiple research areas on campus is encouraged. New fellows will join a supportive community of about 25 postdoctoral scientists and 30 staff and research scientists engaged in understanding the origin and evolution of Earth and planets. More information about our postdoctoral experience at https://carnegiescience.edu/about/working/postdocs/epl.
Responsibilities and research focus
Independently conduct interdisciplinary basic research across listed fields, including astronomy, cosmochemistry, data science, experimental petrology, geobiology, geochemistry, geodynamics, geophysics, mineral physics, planetary science, physics and chemistry of materials, seismology, and volcanology.
Engage in observational, experimental and theoretical work; collaborate with multiple research areas on campus.
Qualifications
PhD (required).
Strong record in relevant fields; encourages interdisciplinary collaboration.
How to apply Only complete applications submitted online via Interfolio will be considered and must include:
1) a cover letter (1 page max), 2) curriculum vitae, 3) list of publications; 4) research plan / proposal (4 pages max, inclusive of figures and references), 5) a brief description of previous research (3 pages max, all inclusive); and 6) three references familiar with the applicant’s work.
