Ann and Gordon Getty Postdoctoral Fellowship The Berkeley Geochronology Center (BGC; www.bgc.org) invites applications for a 2-year postdoctoral research position working with one or more of BGC's scientists (http://www.bgc.org/people/faculty.html) involving the development and/or application of state-of-the-art geochronological and/or paleomagnetic techniques. The BGC has mass-spectrometry-based laboratories for isotopic geochronology and thermochronology based on 40Ar/39Ar, (U+Th)/He, U-Th-Pb, U-series, and other radiogenic isotope methods; and a modern paleomagnetic laboratory. Preference will be given to candidates who will pursue innovative analytical techniques and/or address questions of unusual significance involving, e.g., magmatic systems, tectonics, geomorphology, paleoclimatology, chronostratigraphy, planetary science, paleoanthropology or archeology. Candidates will be expected to have a strong background in isotope geochronology, isotope geochemistry, or paleomagnetism/rock magnetism. Applications will be reviewed beginning July 1, 2011, and continue until the position is filled. To ensure priority consideration, submission of applications by July 15 is recommended. Starting date is negotiable. Applicants should send an email with curriculum vitae, brief statement of research interests, and the names and contact information for three references as a PDF attachment to Director Dr. Paul Renne ([log in to unmask]). BGC is an equal opportunity employer and encourages applications from women and minorities.
