Featured research position

PostDoc - Terrestrial Hydrology and Earth Sciences Applications - Water Resources

The Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR) at the University of Colorado-Boulder is seeking a highly qualified postdoctoral associate to assess, improve, and use remotely sensed snow cover and snow albedo from physically based spectral mixture models, in research and along with applications partners. The candidate will work with the Mountain Hydrology Group at INSTAAR and the Snow Today team at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) that is comprised of scientists, programmers, operations specialists, and communications specialists.

Student jobs

Many labs at INSTAAR hire student hourly employees throughout the year. Key responsibilities and hiring ranges follow Office of Student Employment policy.

If you're a CU student interested in working in a lab, please contact the Professor or Researcher who manages the labs you might like to join. Some positions are also listed on the CU student jobs website (CU IdentiKey required), or posted in departments. But starting a conversation with a professor who is an INSTAAR researcher remains a good way to find an INSTAAR student job, especially if it's a research assistantship you're after.
