Postdoctoral

Position summary

The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist position in Computational Mineral Physics. The position is associated with the project “Modeling Earth from Atomic to Global Scale (MINERALS)”, funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. A primary goal of the MINERALS project is to develop a mineral properties database for geophysical modeling,

particularly for the interpretation of seismic tomography models and their geodynamic implications. The successful candidate will conduct computational simulations of minerals under extreme pressure and temperature conditions and will work in a multidisciplinary team of mineral physicists, seismologists, and geodynamicists to advance quantitative links between atomic-scale mineral behavior and the large-scale

structure of the Earth.
