This postdoctoral research position will use numerical models, machine learning, and geological datasets to produce a new reconstruction ensemble of the Antarctic Ice Sheet since LGM, with a focus on East Antarctica. 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.

The successful candidate will bring their expertise in paleo ice sheet studies to this problem to help improve understanding of the past, present and future change of the ice sheet. They will contribute to building a collegial and collaborative team research environment. Team researchers are well supported by travel and professional development funds.

This is an opportunity to be part of a new and exciting team whilst working at the University of Tasmania, the world’s leading Antarctic and Southern Ocean university and the leading university for Climate Action four-years running. Hobart (and Tasmania) offer a wonderful quality of life and easy access to nature, including many National Parks and World Heritage Areas.
