Postdoctoral Scholar - Earth and Environmental Sciences

The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Syracuse University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar position in quantitative structural geology and deformation processes. The successful candidate will join a growing research program focused on deformation, fluid pathways, and landscape evolution in the upper crust, and will play a central role in establishing a new experimental deformation laboratory.

Research in the group investigates fault-system evolution, deformation partitioning, and structural controls on fluid flow and mineralization through the integration of analogue modeling, remote sensing, geospatial analysis, and computational methods. Research applications include critical mineral systems, geologic hazards, and Earth-surface processes.

The successful candidate will contribute to projects spanning laboratory experiments, digital image correlation, remote sensing, and quantitative analysis of natural deformation systems, while helping...
