<h2>Research Associate - stable isotope geochemistry (Fixed Term)</h2>
<hr>
</header>
<section class="grid_11 prefix_2 suffix_1 alpha">
<p>We wish to appoint a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in
non-traditional stable isotope geochemistry, starting on the 1st
December or as soon as possible thereafter.</p>
<p>The position is part of a NERC funded project that seeks to
better understand chemical weathering intensity, which is one of
the key regulators of the geological carbon cycle. Promising new
tracers such as Si, Mg and Li isotope ratios may hold a new way
forward, but our fundamental understanding of these tracers is
lacking. </p>
<p>The work is laboratory based and will involve the synthesis of
a series of different clay minerals in controlled conditions in
collaboration with the University of Oxford using
low-temperature experiments. These synthetic clays will be
analysed for their Li, Mg and Si isotopic ratios at the
University of Cambridge by MC-ICP-MS.</p>
<p>Candidates should hold a PhD in Earth Sciences or related
discipline, should have experience of clean lab work and
isotopic analysis (by TIMS or MC-ICP-MS) with good communication
skills and the ability to work in a team. A track record of
publication in peer-reviewed journals is desirable.</p>
<p>Informal enquiries can be made to Dr Ed Tipper <<a

<p>Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 3 years
in the first instance.</p>
