The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University invites applications for a Senior Staff Associate I within the Seismology, Geology and Tectonophysics department. The Senior Staff Associate I will be responsible for managing the Rock and Ice Mechanics
Lab, specifically operating and maintaining a triaxial apparatus, a uniaxial rig, a cryogenic biax, a benchtop Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and misc. furnaces and machining tools. Tasks include preparing samples, running experiments on serpentinization,
carbon mineralization, and friction, including measurement of permeability and acoustic emissions, and characterization of microstructure and mineralogy of reactants and products. Tasks will evolve with the research interests of lead investigators and the
successful candidate. Candidate will participate and collaborate with lead investigators on the reporting of results via publication. Additionally, candidate will maintain lab equipment, run calibrations, and assist in deformation studies of various Earth
and planetary materials. Will train students, postdocs and visiting scientists on methods and instrument use and maintain a log of SEM usage. Experience with characterization of mineralogy and microstructure is a plus.</div>
