<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext">The Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences (EOAS) at the University of British Columbia invites applicants for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant
Professor in <b><i>Environmental Geochemistry of the Anthropocene</i></b>. We seek an innovative researcher investigating
<b><i>geochemical processes in human impacted and/or managed environments, </i></b>working to understand the response of natural geochemical cycles to anthropogenic influences. Candidates should hold a PhD in a related field, and be interested in addressing
fundamental geochemical research questions relevant to contemporary environmental problems.
<b><i>All aspects of Anthropocene geochemistry are of interest, including, but not limited to</i></b>: the distribution and pathways of metals in the environment; transport and accumulation mechanisms of pollutants in the geosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere;
geochemical “fingerprinting” of natural and anthropogenic pollutant levels, sources and sinks; and geochemical processes essential to the provision of ecosystem services.
