<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The Organic Molecular and Stable Isotope Biogeochemistry Group of Dr. Michael Hren (paleoclimate.geosciences.uconn.edu) at the University of Connecticut is seeking a Postdoctoral Scientist to work on a multi-year
NSF-funded project on organic molecular and geochemical records of Late Quaternary Western U.S. fire and climate. The successful candidate will join a team of scientists from multiple U.S. institutions and will participate in the development of monitoring,
sampling and organic molecular analyses of speleothems and cave deposits from across of the Sierra Nevada of California.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The candidate will participate in field sampling in and around caves in the Sierra Nevada, will develop new analytical methods and procedures for organic molecular analysis of trace organics, will take a lead role
in preparing and analyzing samples for compound specific stable isotopes and GC/MS, and will meet virtually and in-person with team members at regular intervals. The successful candidate will have prior hands-on experience with stable isotope instrumentation
and an interest in developing new analytical techniques, the ability to successfully work independently and as part of a research team, the ability to conduct field sampling in remote, mountainous regions and a commitment to mentoring graduate and undergraduate
students in the field/lab. This position may include but does not require sampling in underground cave systems.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The UConn Stable Isotope and Organic Molecular Biogeochemistry Laboratory hosts a range of equipment for conventional and compound-specific stable isotope analyses including two MAT 253 Mass Spectrometers with
GC- Isolink, EA and TC/EA, GC-FID and GC/MS/MS.
