> I have a new paid opportunity on an NSF grant at the Burke Museum 

> 

> Summary: This position is part of an NSF-funded project titled, “Mid-Miocene climate, vegetation, and disturbance dynamics of the Pacific Northwest”. We are focused on reconstructing vegetation changes at high resolution to study the causes of abrupt ecosystem changes in the mid-Miocene, when temperatures were 4-7°C warmer than pre-industrial conditions, close to the most dire projections for warming at the end of the 21st century. One part of this project is to reconstruct landscape stability through elemental geochemistry measured through X-ray fluorescence of sediments.

> 

> The candidate will conduct X-ray fluorescence analysis of sediment samples housed at the Burke Museum. The opportunity also exists to continue this line of research, beyond the currently funded 16 weeks, for credit. We also encourage the candidate to become academically vested in the project, with the potential to present their research at a professional conference and/or contribute to a peer-reviewed paper.

> 

> How to apply: Send your CV (or resumé) and a brief (~1 page) statement describing your research interests and goals to cschill2 at uw.edu <mailto:cschill2 at uw.edu> by January 29. Feel free to email with questions!

> 

> Thanks and have a great weekend!
