Alberta is looking for a motivated candidate with field and laboratory experience to coordinate the
collection of shallow ice cores from the Snow Dome site on the Columbia Icefield in March 2020, and the
collection of a deep ice core from the site in 2021. The successful candidate will also be involved in the
collection of freshwater samples downstream of the Columbia Icefield to investigate the effects of
contaminant load in glacial run-off to the Athabasca and North Saskatchewan Rivers. The
successful candidate will be responsible for running the analyses at CICL (physical core processing, ion
chromatography, and oxygen isotope analysis), dating the core records, and evaluating the data set to
establish temporal patterns and rates of deposition for the contaminants with the ultimate goal of
quantifying glacial-derived contaminant inputs to downstream freshwater ecosystems. </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">Contracted laboratories will analyze the ice core and water samples for a suite of organic contaminants.</span></div></div><div class=""><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">Qualifications and Specific Skills </span></div><div class=""><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">• PhD in glaciology, environmental chemistry, or other relevant field </span></div><div class=""><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">• Record of publishing in peer-reviewed journals, ideally with a focus on ice core science and/or
