1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: Val Finlayson <vfinlays@xxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues, Iâ??d like to share with you an opening for a Postdoctoral Associate at the Rutgers University Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences. The project involves collection of high-precision siderophile isotope data from terrestrial samples, and the successful candidate will be working with an interdisciplinary team to integrate novel geochemical observations with geodynamic models of the Earthâ??s interior. Application instructions can be found at https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/139647__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!NR2IB-eIytvIuL57OMxpKEH9mHh4kRj1GVDZ0I7XO3Dka56gSXSE9p65wGguDwk$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/139647__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!Jxbfa2rXI_YU-itRAdc9GVL7gvXGvSNQRwpIwrV3LsibGk8UDMDQb22M2r7RT_M$> and position description follows. Any questions should be directed to Dr. Katherine Bermingham ( katherine.bermingham@xxxxxxxxxxx). The application period closes on September 17, 2021. --------------------- DESCRIPTION The Rutgers University Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences (EPS) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Associate to study the siderophile element isotopic composition of terrestrial rock samples as part of a National Science Foundation-funded project. The successful candidate will undertake high precision isotopic analyses and consider constraints from geodynamic modeling to provide an integrated approach to understanding the thermochemical evolution of our planet. Data will be collected via thermal ionization mass spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Professional development and mentoring programs will be integrated into the research program. The Postdoctoral Associate will join the research group of Dr. Katherine Bermingham at EPS and collaborate with scientists at Rutgers University, the Smithsonian Institution, Scripps, and the University of Maryland. This is a 2-year position with a start date as soon as possible after October 1st, 2021. REQUIRMENTS Experience in isotope cosmochemistry and/or geochemistry. Independent user experience in thermal ionization mass spectrometry/inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Candidates are expected to have an excellent academic record and be fluent in English. Ability to communicate complex information clearly in written format. Strong research, organizational, and project management skills. 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 ------------------------------
