geochemistry and geomicrobiology

Hi everyone -

The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of  
Tennessee at Knoxville, invites applications for a postdoctoral  
research associate to fill a position in microbial geochemistry and  
geomicrobiology. The candidate will join a large, multi-institutional  
team within the Coastal Waters Consortium, funded by the Gulf of  
Mexico Research Initiative.  The current research focuses on dynamic  
biogeochemical and ecological impacts of disturbances, including oil  
contamination, to coastal marsh and other marine ecosystems. Candidate  
will be responsible for field and laboratory research combining  
aqueous, organic, and stable isotope geochemistry with environmental  
microbiology and ?omics techniques.  Additional duties include helping  
undergraduate students conduct independent research projects, and  
presenting and publishing research results.  Requirements: Ph.D. in  
microbiology, geology, chemistry, or relevant field is required.  
Potential applicants can have broad interest and demonstrated  
expertise in non-marine ecosystems. Preference will be given to  
applicants (1) with demonstrated expertise in microbiology,  
geochemistry, ?omics, or computational skills, (2) who have research  
productivity in the form of scientific publications and funding  
experience, and (3) who are willing to travel regularly for field  
work.  The candidate should have excellent oral and written English  
language communications skills.  The position will be open until  
filled. Email Annette Engel (aengel1 at utk.edu) if there are questions.

To apply, please submit cover letter, CV, and contact information for  
three references at

Thank you!
