Postdoctoral Position in Near Surface Geophysics | University of California Davis - Military Veterans

Postdoctoral Position in Near Surface Geophysics Position Overview: The posted UC salary scales set the minimum pay determined by rank and/or step at appointment. See Table 23: Postdoctoral Scholar-Employee, Postdoctoral Scholar-Fellow, Postdoctoral Scholar-Paid Direct, Fiscal Year . The salary range for this position is $64,480-$77,327 'Off-scale salaries', i.e., a salary that is higher than the published system-wide salary at the designated rank and step, are offered when necessary to meet competitive conditions, qualifications, and experience. Join the cutting-edge ARRAKIS (Assessing Regional Reflectors of Astrobiology in Kobuk Dunes for Interplanetary Science) project at UC Davis' Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences and become a leader in astrobiological exploration! Our department offers an exceptional intellectual and educational environment that prioritizes people and fosters a community committed to addressing the most pressing scientific and societal challenges in Earth and Planetary Sciences. We are seeking a passionate near-surface geophysicist for a postdoctoral position to lead biogeophysics research focused on life and biosignatures in Alaska's Great Kobuk Sand Dunes. These dunes offer a unique opportunity to study extreme environments like those on Mars and Titan. As part of this exciting project, you will explore the potential for life in cold-climate dunes and contribute to ground-breaking discoveries. As a postdoctoral fellow, you will work with an interdisciplinary team of biogeochemists, geophysicists, and astrobiologists. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in spectral induced polarization (a key requirement), ground-penetrating radar (GPR), electrical resistivity techniques, and possess strong computational skills. You will play a pivotal role in interpreting complex data sets to advance our understanding of biogeophysical signatures. Other opportunities exist to contribute to water security solutions in California. At UC Davis, you'll thrive in an inclusive and supportive environment while enjoying northern California's natural beauty, from stunning national parks to serene lakes and majestic mountains. Qualifications: Doctoral degree in geophysics or a related field. Proven ability to conduct independent research and publish in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings. Willingness to conduct fieldwork in cold climates. Expertise in lab and field data acquisition (SIP, GPR, ERT, EM) To apply: Please submit your CV, a cover letter detailing how your research aligns with biogeophysics and near-surface geophysics, and the contact information for three referees. Application reviews will begin on October 20, 2024, and continue until the position is filled To apply, visit https://recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF06740 Copyright 2024 Jobelephant.com Inc.
