*Post-doctoral Position in Organic Geochemistry*

  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.

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.

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.

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.

  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: 
https://jobs.wm.edu/postings/29441. 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).

The College is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer and 
encourages applications from women, minorities, protected veterans, 
and individuals with disabilities. The college conducts background 
checks on applicants for employment.
