<i>Stable Isotope Laboratory for Earth and Environmental Science Research</i> at the University of Pittsburgh in the Department of Geology & Environmental Science. This facility currently houses two IsoPrime mass spectrometers (one dedicated continuous flow
and one dedicated dual inlet instrument) and associated peripheral devices (Trace Gas, EuroVector TC/EA, Multi-Prep, and Gilson autosamplers). Primary research objectives include the application of innovative stable isotope tracers (N, O, C, S) of hydrological-atmospheric-biological
interactions, and reactive nitrogen isotope tracers in environmental systems<i>.
</i>Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to: 1) the operation, maintenance, and repair of instrumentation; 2) the training and supervision of students, laboratory assistants, and other users; 3) data reduction, maintenance of laboratory quality
control and sample tracking databases; 4) cost center operations including external customer correspondence, invoicing, and reporting; and 5) oversight and assistance with sample preparation. Additionally, preference will be given to candidates with experience
conducting nitrate isotope analyses using the “microbial denitrifier method”. <o:p>
