*Open Rank – Postdoctoral or Associate Research Scientist*
With support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the
Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University located in
Palisades, New York, is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Scientist or
Associate Research Scientist to work on the project AVERT: Anticipating
Volcanic Eruptions in Real Time (https://avert.ldeo.columbia.edu/). The
project aims to establish an open-data, real-time, multi-sensor
experiment on Okmok and Cleveland volcanoes in Alaska in order to
develop data streams and forecasts for highly active volcanic systems.
Classic “closed’ and “open” volcanoes, Okmok and Cleveland will serve as
testing grounds for the use of multi-sensor, satellite-telemetered
arrays to understand eruption run-up, triggering and precursors. A
multi-year logistics platform will engage partners in this community
experiment.
The candidate will work with a team of Principal Investigators at the
Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, the Alaska Volcano Observatory and
other project partners. Efforts would include developing open tools for
analyzing real-time mulit-sensor data, taking part in field deployments,
helping organize field logistics, and engaging in outreach to
stakeholders and inreach to the science community. The candidate is
encouraged to conduct original research using the AVERT data.
*_Qualifications:_*
A Ph.D. in a relevant field is required by the date of hire. Preferred
qualifications include prior field work on active volcanoes, published
research involving volcano seismology and/or geodesy, excellent
communication and organizational skills, and experience in machine
learning, edge computing, data assimilation and/or forecasting
models. Applicants will be eligible for either the rank of Postdoctoral
Research Scientist or Associate Research Scientist based on post-Ph.D.
years of experience.
Columbia University benefits are offered with this Officer of Research
appointment.
Associate Research Scientist appointments are made on a fiscal year
basis and are eligible for renewal each July 1, contingent upon
performance and funding. Postdoc appointments are annual and based on
hire date. Funding is currently in place for two years.
Review of applications will begin December 29, 2021 and continue until
the position is filled. The desired start date is Spring 2022.
