The Department of Geological Sciences at University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill seeks a highly qualified and motivated applicant to investigate the (bio)geochemical evolution of the Earth’s surface environment through time. The successful candidate will pursue independent research on topics that may include fluid-rock interactions in lithosphere; chemical weathering (erosion) and their influence on evolution of the continental crust; the redox evolution of Earth’s ocean and atmosphere; the changing distributions of redox sensitive transition elements and their consequences to microbial evolution; and feedbacks between the evolution of Earth’s surface and the rise of the terrestrial biosphere.

Applicants should have or expect a Ph.D. in geochemistry, geobiology, sedimentary geology, or other relevant discipline; experiences in analytical techniques, such as ICP-MS, MC-ICP-MS, and/or TIMS are preferred; and excellent communication and interpersonal skills are required.

The appointment is for one year, with possibility for a second year pending progress. The position is available immediately, and will remain open until it is filled.
