*Post-Doctoral Position*



A post-doctoral position is available starting September, 2016 to work with
Dr. Mark Abbott and Dr. Josef Werne at the Organic & Stable Isotope
(Paleo)Biogeochemistry Lab in the Department of Geology and Environmental
Science at the University of Pittsburgh.



The successful candidate will collaborate with ongoing projects that
investigate the organic and stable isotope biogeochemical record of
environmental change preserved in aquatic sedimentary systems. Projects
focus on using compound-specific stable isotope techniques on terrestrial
and lacustrine samples from modern through Quaternary timescales in
multiple systems, including Lake Junin, Peru and Lake Chalco, Mexico, among
others in western North America.



Primary duties will include maintaining and troubleshooting laboratory
instrumentation such as GC, GC/MS, and irmGC-MS, extraction, separation,
and analysis of biomarker compounds, and assisting graduate and
undergraduate students in the labs. The successful candidate should have
strong analytical and instrumentation skills and hold a PhD in geochemistry
or a closely related field.



The position is for 1 year with the possibility of extension up to 3 years
and starts as early as September 1, 2016.  Interested candidates should
send a cover letter, CV, and the names and contact information of 3
