--------------------
The Science Coordination Office at WAIS Divide is seeking applicants for science technicians to help in the drilling and ice core recovery
process during the 2010 / 2011 Antarctic field season in West Antarctica.
Science technicians will receive ice cores as they are removed from the drill, measure the length and quality of the cores, and pack the cores for shipping. You must be able to lift 20 pounds on a regular basis and occasionally 40 pounds. The work takes place inside a building with an internal temperature of -30 C. Although there are ample opportunities for breaks in a warm building, you must be comfortable working in a cold environment. The field season will start in late October / early November 2010 and will continue through late January / early February 2011.
WAIS Divide is a United States deep ice coring project in West Antarctica funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and is the second component to the larger WAISCORES initiative. The purpose of the WAIS Divide project is to collect a deep ice core from the flow divide in central West Antarctica in order to develop a unique series of interrelated climate, ice dynamics, and biologic records focused on
understanding interactions among global earth systems.
Review of applications will begin in early March 2010 and will continue until all positions are filled. To apply, please complete the online application form after reviewing the job description at: http://www.waisdivide.unh.edu/about/employment.html.
