<p>I am looking to recruit an M.Sc. or Ph.D. student in the Earth and Planetary Sciences Department at McGill University for a project
focused on using methane radiocarbon measurements to quantify fugitive emissions from oil and gas extraction and/or emissions of methane
from old permafrost carbon pools. This position would be partially focused on
developing methods at McGill for purifying methane from mixed gas
samples, and would involve collaborations with the University of
Ottawa’s Lalonde Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Laboratory, as well as
Environment and Climate Change Canada. The project is funded through
McGill’s Trottier Institute for Science and Public Policy, and there
will be opportunities to engage with the interface between
biogeochemical measurements and greenhouse gas mitigation policy.
Experience with stable isotope and/or radiocarbon measurements, especially
with gas samples, is a plus. Priority will be given to Canadian
applicants, but all are welcome to apply. If interested send me an
e-mail at <a href="mailto:peter.douglas@mcgill.ca" target="_blank">peter.douglas@mcgill.ca</a>. For more information about the Earth
and Planetary Sciences Department graduate program check <a href="http://www.mcgill.ca/eps/studies/graduate" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">-- <br><div class="m_2272898433717799488gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><span><span><font color="#888888"><span><font color="#888888">Peter Douglas<br>
