The Geophysical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington invites
applications for postdoctoral fellowships. The Geophysical Laboratory emphasizes
interdisciplinary experimental and theoretical research in fields ranging from geoscience,
microbiology, chemistry, to physics. The Laboratory supports world-class facilities in
high-pressure research; organic, stable isotope and biogeochemistry; mineral physics and
petrology; and astrobiology.

Carnegie Postdoctoral Fellowships are awarded once a year. The deadline for submitting
an application is 30 November 2016 and the position begins the following summer or
autumn.

Carnegie Fellowship applications must include a curriculum vitae, brief description of
thesis research, three-to-five page research proposal, list of publications, and three letters
of reference sent by those familiar with your work.
If you are not familiar with our current research, we suggest that you look at our recent
publications listed on the home page, Carnegie Institution Yearbooks, and/or speak with
staff members and current postdoctoral associates.
The fellowship committee evaluates research proposals for evidence of original thinking
and to determine a candidate’s ability to develop and carry out a research project that can
be accomplished at the Laboratory. You are encouraged to contact a Geophysical
Laboratory Staff Member about the suitability of your project.

Also, please see our listing of personnel, research areas, and major facilities.
Completed applications for a Carnegie fellowship should be submitted through this
website no later than 30 November 2016.
