geochemistry, and biogeochemistry. We seek a candidate who will develop 
a vigorous and innovative research program, and who will contribute to 
Departmental teaching at both undergraduate and graduate levels. The 
University is providing a purpose-designed organic geochemistry 
laboratory in a new building dedicated to environmental research.
