1)  MENDENHALL POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY

The USGS is still seeking applicants for Mendenhall Postdoctoral 
Research Opportunity 13 on "Impact-Related Processes: ICDP-USGS Deep Corehole 
in the Central Crater of the Chesapeake Bay Impact Structure" 
[http://geology.usgs.gov/postdoc/2006/opps/opp13.html ].  The 
description
allows flexibility in the types of research that can be proposed and 
does not require previous experience with impact craters.  The 
postdoctoral fellow will also have responsibilities as Sampling Coordinator for 
the ICDP core, so experience on a large scientific drilling project 
would be helpful.

The Mendenhall Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program is described at 
http://geology.usgs.gov/postdoc/ and the application closing date is 
December 1.  Those interested should be aware that this program "gives 
strong priority to U.S. citizens and nationals..."

Anyone interested should contact one or more of the listed research 
advisers immediately.

geology, and will share responsibility for courses in environmental 
geology and historical geology and associated laboratories.  The rank 
(either Assistant or Associate Professor of Geology) and salary will be 
commensurate with the applicant's experience and accomplishments.  
Preference will be given to candidates who have active research projects on 
the Atlantic Coast of the United States, who apply GIS to their research, 
and those with prior undergraduate teaching experience.  A PhD in 
geology or a closely related field must be completed by the position 
starting date of August 1, 2005.  The one-year position may be renewable
 for two additional one-year appointments.
