[ES_JOBS_NET] Assistant Professor of Earth System Science (tenure track): Organic Geochemistry UCIrvine

[Brenda Bodell]

*Assistant Professor of Earth System Science (tenure track): Organic 
Geochemistry*

The Department of Earth System Science (ESS) at The University of 
California, Irvine is recruiting an Assistant Professor (tenure track) 
anchored in Earth system science with a research focus in Organic 
Geochemistry. The goal is to advance our understanding of the complex 
processes responsible for the transformation, fate, and stability of 
organic matter and its role in the Earth system. Candidates may focus on 
any component of the terrestrial and aquatic systems. Areas of interest 
include redox processes such as carbon-metal interactions, 
biogeochemical/biological transformations, carbon sequestration, or 
geochemistry of the past and/or future. Diverse scientific approaches 
are encouraged, for example detailed characterization of dissolved and 
particulate pools using novel MS and/or spectroscopic techniques coupled 
with compound specific studies or C isotopes (e.g. AMS). Candidates are
encouraged to use modelling in their research, but experimental 
measurements should be the majority of their work.

We make this appointment with the goal of strengthening the department’s 
commitment to research, and teaching, and inclusive excellence. UC 
Irvine’s ESS department was founded to explore the global environmental 
changes that occur on human time scales. The department has expanded its 
domain with 26 full-time faculty from diverse backgrounds 
(http://www.ess.uci.edu/). ESS is the home of world-class geochemical 
facilities, including the W.M. Keck Carbon Cycle AMS facility, soon 
including the new MICADAS, and the Center for Isotope Tracers that 
offers stable isotope and ICPMS capabilities.

The successful applicant will have: a doctoral degree and research 
experience in Organic Geochemistry or a related field and a strong 
research agenda, a commitment to excellence in teaching and in promoting 
diversity and inclusion, and an interest in becoming part of a collegial 
and cross-disciplinary department. The position will start July 1, 2023.
