<div class=""><b class="">Post-doctoral Position in Organic
Geochemistry</b><br class="">
<br class="">
The Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences (VIMS) at the
College of William and Mary is seeking a Postdoctoral
Investigator in Organic Geochemistry to work with Dr.
Elizabeth Canuel. The Postdoctoral Investigator will
join ongoing research projects studying the composition of
organic matter in coastal habitats. Specifically,
the Postdoctoral Research Associate position will support
ongoing and new research studying the composition of organic
matter in coastal habitats including marshes and estuaries.<br
class="">
<br class="">
Potential research topics include characterizing the
signatures of dissolved and particulate organic matter
at the marsh-estuary interface, studying biotic and abiotic
processes influencing organic matter in sediments,
evaluating interactions between organic matter composition
and microbial processes, and measuring stable and
radiocarbon isotopic signatures of organic matter.<br
class="">
<br class="">
Position responsibilities include interacting with and
supervising graduate and undergraduate students, working
closely with collaborators on ongoing projects, and
developing new independent research consistent with the
goals of the organic geochemistry group.<br class="">
<br class="">
The successful applicant will have experience with a broad
range of organic geochemical methods (biomarker and isotopic
tracers) to study the sources and fate of organic matter,
knowledge of wetland and estuarine systems, and also
develop independent research related to the sources and fate
of organic matter of coastal systems. A PhD in marine and/or
environmental science or related field (e.g.,
analytical chemistry), a broad knowledge of organic matter
characterization methods, strong quantitative skills, and a
proven research background are required. Experience with R
statistical methods and project management is
preferred but not required. The position will be located at
VIMS, but involve collaboration with investigators at other
locations. Salary will be commensurate with experience, and
multiple years of funding are possible.<br class="">
<br class="">
Applications should include a 1- to 2-page statement of
potential research ideas related to organic matter
characterization in coastal environments, a cover
letter identifying the candidate’s availability for
this position, a CV, and contact information for three
references. For a full position description, including
application instructions, please apply on line: <a

moz-do-not-send="true">https://jobs.wm.edu/postings/29441</a>. Applications
will be reviewed until position is filled. For full
consideration, applications should be received within 1
month of the date of posting (9/14/2017).<br class="">
