**Job no**: 501594
**Work type**: Full time
**Location**: Hobart
**Categories**: Research Focused
- Undertake state-of-the-art research in Antarctic paleo ice sheet science
- Collaborate to build a new three-dimensional model of Antarctic glacial isostatic adjustment
- Full Time, 3.5 year fixed-term position based in Hobart
**About the opportunity**
This postdoctoral research position will work on reconstruction of the Antarctic Ice Sheet, and particularly the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, from Last Glacial Maximum to present. The position is part of a new prestigious ARC Laureate Fellowship team of about 15 researchers who are being assembled to work together on tracking and predicting the future of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.
This is an opportunity to be part of a new and exciting team whilst working at the world’s leading Antarctic and Southern Ocean university, based within the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS).
