Carnegie Science invites applications for postdoctoral fellowships in experimental and theoretical research in mineral physics, data science, geosciences, planetary sciences, and astronomy. The Earth and Planets Laboratory (EPL) in Washington, DC is an interdisciplinary basic research laboratory fostering experimental and theoretical studies of materials under extreme conditions and of technological materials such as superconductors and ferroelectrics at the atomic scale as well as a wide range of other fields.Fellows conduct independent research in collaboration with Carnegie scientists, and their primary field of research should overlap with one or more of the areas listed above. Research and collaboration with multiple research areas on campus is encouraged. New fellows will join a supportive community of about 25 postdoctoral scientists and 30 staff and research scientists.
