Post-doctoral researchers wanted!

We are seeking energetic, independent, responsible scientists to join this project as post-doctoral researchers.

We have two half-time positions available; additional funding may be available through part-time instructor positions and short-term research.

A proven publication record, success in securing research funding and strong language skills in Spanish are pluses. Candidates will be responsible for working with graduate and undergraduate students in Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua, as well as at Michigan Tech.

The candidate will be expected to develop their own research directions in conjunction with the project goals, and which complement the department’s existing efforts in Hydrogeology, Remote Sensing/Volcanology, and Petroleum Exploration.

We are seeking candidates with skills in one or more of the following areas of expertise:

• Natural hazards (volcanology, seismology, slope stability, hazard mitigation)
  
• Hydrogeological engineering (groundwater, surface water, wastewater treatment)
  
• Education (student project advising, classroom and field instruction)
  
• Remote sensing (ground-based, satellite, geophysical methods)
  
• Quantitative skills (modeling, instrument development)

To apply, send a letter of application, along with a vitae and the names and addresses of three professional references to:

Dr. Gregg Bluth, Geology Department,
Michigan Technological University,
Houghton, MI 49931.
