PhD Career: What are the Career Option?
6. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The Postdoctoral Scholar will engage in collaborative research to understand the ice-flow history and ice-flow dynamics of candidate ice-core drilling locations. This will include adapting or developing numerical ice-flow models that will be constrained by new geophysical data and available in-situ data. Data sets may include airborne and ground-based radar, phase-sensitive radar (ApRES), Global Positioning System (GPS), as well as in-situ logging to recover optical stratigraphy and near-basal temperature. Models will provide constraints on the age of the ice as a function of depth, near-basal temperature, ice-flow paths, and layer continuity, with a goal to characterize the potential of chosen target sites to preserve a continuous record of at least 1.5 million year old ice. Models will vary in complexity depending on what constraint they are providing.

About Postdoctoral Position
The Genetics and Evolution Program within the Conservation Biology Division at NWFSC is dedicated to supporting the conservation and management of marine and anadromous species, from deep-sea corals, to salmon, to whales. State-of-the-art, genetics and genomics tools provide essential information for managing sustainable fisheries and conserving protected species. This is done by characterizing genetic diversity in marine and anadromous organisms, evaluating the relationship between diversity and population viability, and inferring how human-induced or environmental factors influence diversity, viability, and sustainability. MERLAB is a multi investigator group dedicated to evolutionary, population, and quantitative genetics of marine organisms, as well as conservation and management of aquatic populations.
