We are excited to be at Oregon State where there is a thriving group of polar and mountain scientists. Erin still has close ties to the University of Alaska Fairbanks Glaciology Group.
OSU Glaciology is growing! Current openings:
Graduate students: I am considering taking on students in Fall 2022, please email me if you are interested.
Undergrad Research Assistants: no specific posting right now, but contact me if you are interested.
Post Doctoral Scholar: possible posting in near future.
I am also part of COLDEX.org - the search for old ice in Antarctica. We have several positions open, for graduate students and staff, please check the COLDEX website for details.
