Dear Colleagues,
Due to technical difficulties, the deadline for applications for the NIC 
Postdoctoral Fellowship in Ice Core Research has been extended to May 30, 2008.
I apologize to those that have received this announcement more than once.
Many Thanks,

The National Isotope Centre (NIC), a division of GNS Science, is the 
premier source of applied isotope science capability in New Zealand. Its 
research and commercial activities are supported by a sophisticated 
technical infrastructure, including particle accelerators for accelerator 
mass spectrometery, stable isotope mass spectrometers, a tritium analysis 
facility, chemical laboratories, and a new ice core research facility. 
You, as an ambitious and bright postdoctoral research fellow, will be part 
of the NZ Ice Core Research Programme. The position is for a 3 year fixed 
period, to work on an agreed project covering aspects of climate change 
utilising ice core records. It is a collaborative and interdisciplinary 
effort which utilises ice cores from coastal Antarctica to investigate 
climate drivers of the Southern Hemisphere. Our research, under the 
auspices of the Joint Antarctic Research Institute (JARI) between GNS 
Science and Victoria University of Wellington, contributes to a range of 
international consortia on Ice Coring Sciences (e.g. IPICS, ITASE, AGCS) 
and aims to provide high resolution climate records for the prediction of 
future climate change. Part of the selection process will include an 
assessment of the proposed research plan. 
The ideal candidate will have a PhD and skills and experience in some or 
all of these fields: 
Ice core climatology 
A track record of publications in the field of ice core research, 
preferably climate change 
Excellent organisational skills and ability to work and collaborate within 
multidisciplinary research teams 
Preference will be given to candidates with practical knowledge and 
experience with ice core laboratory equipment and procedures 
Ability to supervise technicians and students to complete laboratory 
tasks. 
Applications close: Friday 30 May 2008.
Vacancy Number 08/12
