ERI Fellow, Assistant Research Scientist, Stable Isotope Ecology
The Environmental Resilience Institute (ERI) at Indiana University (IU) invites applications for a Fellow position in stable isotope research addressing climate change effects on Midwest ecosystems. Stable isotopic applications could include investigations into ecosystem processes, climate-soil feedbacks, coupled human-natural processes, agriculture and other land-use changes, and environmental restoration. The ideal applicant in this broadly defined search will have a strong interest in interdisciplinary research with the potential to establish links with existing research in the following areas: hydrology and water resources, invasive species, agricultural practices, isotope ecology of migratory animals. Expertise in using new stable isotope facilities, including hydrogen equilibration and carbon/nitrogen analysis, will be considered assets. Fellows will enjoy funding for lab support, a rich collaborative environment, and eligibility to serve as PI on external grants.

The position is part of IU’s Environmental Resilience Institute and Prepared for Environmental Change Grand Challenge initiative (https://eri.iu.edu/). With a primary appointment in the ERI, the successful candidate will join a cohort of ERI Fellows and a growing community of colleagues across the sciences, social sciences, and humanities who are engaged in this collaborative program of research and communication about environmental change (https://eri.iu.edu/who-we-are/researchers/index.html). Formal affiliation with relevant department(s) and school(s) will be arranged to enhance connections to existing research groups on campus. Excellent fellow candidates will have experience with and openness toward multi- and trans-disciplinary collaborative research.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. prior to employment in ecology, geochemistry, earth sciences, environmental science, or other relevant discipline along with demonstrated research experience in mass spectrometric analysis. Applicants with prior post-doctoral training will be favored in the review process. Fellows will be expected to develop independent research programs that interface with ERI’s multidisciplinary initiative. The position will begin in August, 2020 and will be for two years. While the position is not permanent, there may be opportunities to extend the appointment period through external funding. Starting salary is $70,000.

Applications should be submitted by March 15, 2020 to ensure full consideration, but will continue to be considered until the position is filled. Interested candidates should review the job description and submit application materials online at https://indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/9327. Questions about the position should be directed to David Polly, Search Committee Chair, Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Indiana University, 1001 E 10th St, Bloomington, IN 47405, pdpolly at indiana.edu<mailto:pdpolly at indiana.edu>.
