<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%">We seek an exceptional postdoctoral associate to conduct NSF-funded
independent research on the biologically produced iron and manganese minerals.
These topics laboratory studies probing the structure and reactivity of
manganese oxidizing fungi. Activities may include conducting traditional
geochemical experiments, molecular modeling, electron and force microscopies, electrochemistry,
and/or cutting-edge spectroscopic techniques to better understand the
fundamental mechanisms of biogeochemical processes. Opportunities exist to
interact closely with a group of distinguished intramural and extramural collaborators.
Related activities include laboratory work; data collection at national
laboratories; supervising and mentoring graduate and undergraduate students;
outreach to high school students and teachers; data analysis; report,
manuscript, and proposal preparation; and presentation of research at local,
regional, and national meetings. The duration is one year with the possibility
of renewal for additional time. More information about the NCSU soil
biogeochemistry laboratory group can be found at:</span> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%"><a href="http://duckworth.soil.ncsu.edu/" target="_blank">http://duckworth.soil.ncsu.<wbr>edu/</a><span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%"><br></span></p>
