<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The USGS Earth Systems Biogeochemistry (ESB) Laboratory in
Denver, Colorado is recruiting a full-time, masters-level (GS-9),
laboratory/field manager. The ESB Lab conducts detailed studies of biogeochemical
processes in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, with a particular emphasis on
soils. Our current work is centered on understanding regional scale controls on soil organic matter cycling in the mountain and desert ecosystems of the
southwestern, US. We are looking for candidates with a strong background in biogeochemistry and experience in both laboratory and field environments. The incumbent will
spend approximately 80% of their time managing the ESB laboratory operations,
including sample processing and analytical workflows, as well as some data
management and interpretation. The remaining 20% of their time will be spent
assisting with or overseeing field studies and sample collection. This fieldwork will occur in
remote environments occasionally requiring hiking and camping in backcountry conditions. Applicants with training in geospatial data analyses, GIS,
or the R programming environment are strongly encouraged to apply. For questions about the work
being conducted by the ESB Laboratory, please contact Corey Lawrence (<a href="mailto:clawrence@usgs.gov" target="_blank">clawrence@usgs.gov</a>)
