[ES_JOBS_NET] Position title:Postdoctoral Research Associate in Biomineralization

[Owen Duckworth]

*Essential Responsibilities: *

We seek an exceptional postdoctoral associate to conduct NSF-funded
independent research on the biologically produced iron and manganese
minerals. These topics laboratory studies probing the structure and
reactivity of manganese oxidizing fungi. Activities may include conducting
traditional geochemical experiments, molecular modeling, electron and force
microscopies, electrochemistry, and/or cutting-edge spectroscopic
techniques to better understand the fundamental mechanisms of
biogeochemical processes. Opportunities exist to interact closely with a
group of distinguished intramural and extramural collaborators. Related
activities include laboratory work; data collection at national
laboratories; supervising and mentoring graduate and undergraduate
students; outreach to high school students and teachers; data analysis;
report, manuscript, and proposal preparation; and presentation of research
at local, regional, and national meetings. The duration is one year with
the possibility of renewal for additional time. More information about the
NCSU soil biogeochemistry laboratory group can be found at:

*Qualifications:*

A Ph.D. in chemistry, geochemistry, environmental engineering, geology,
soil science, or a related discipline is required. The successful candidate
should have the demonstrated ability to design experiments and conduct
independent research. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are
essential. A strong publication record is highly desirable.



*For more information and informal consideration: *

Please send a CV, a list of 3 references, and cover letter to Owen
Duckworth (owen_duckworth at ncsu.edu). Application materials will be accepted
until August 1, 2017 or until a suitable candidate is found. The position
has an anticipated start date of November 1.
