The Alaska Science Center is advertising five new permanent research geologist positions. Applications are open between December 1, 2010 and February 15, 2011, and that selection will occur during late spring of 2011. More information on their homepage, including the following announcement:
“This hiring initiative inaugurates a team approach to geologic research in Alaska (Photo gallery). The five positions will together make up a working group that will respond to the USGS’ ongoing need for research in framework geology of the 49th state. Project work is expected to support a broad range of research topics related to crustal evolution and surficial processes. We expect projects will involve collaboration with researchers from other USGS offices, federal agencies, state agencies, and academia.
The five Tectonics Working Group positions are:
* Tectonics and structural geology
* Neotectonics, paleoseismology, and Quaternary geology
* Tectonics and igneous processes
* Tectonics and metamorphic processes
* Tectonics and sedimentary basin analysis
We anticipate adding a post-doc position to the working group once specific project foci are defined.
