The Department of the Geophysical Sciences is currently inviting applications for the Provost's Postdoctoral Fellowship. We seek to include in our department scientists who will lead creative investigations into the nature of Earth and other planetary bodies, their physics, biology, chemistry, climate, and history, and who have a desire to participate in the broad intellectual life of the Department and the University. This fellowship program supports junior scientists from diverse backgrounds, including groups historically underrepresented in the earth and planetary sciences, such as women, black/African-American, native American, and Hispanic/Latino scholars.

Jablonskipora kidwellae is named after Professors Kidwell and Jablonski. It lived about 105 million years ago and its discovery has filled a gap in the evolutionary record of an important breakthrough that has helped bryozoans survive for 500 million years.
