<div>Postdoc Position in Amino Acid Biogeochemistry</div>
<div>Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We seek a Postdoctoral Scholar to join NSF-funded research projects exploring amino acid biogeochemistry. Project 1 advances amino acid racemization for dating Last Interglacial shorelines (120,000 years ago) using a global collection of marine mollusk
shells to create temperature-dependent calibrations, with applications to understanding ice-sheet stability and coastal responses to warming. Project 2 investigates amino acid racemization and decomposition in radiocarbon-dated and laboratory-heated lake sediment
to understand organic matter cycling across geographically diverse sites. The scholar will develop expertise in analytical biogeochemistry with paleoclimate applications while collaborating with the NAU-ACE Isotope Lab for radiocarbon and an interdisciplinary
research team. This two-year position offers hands-on training in HPLC analysis, data interpretation, and manuscript preparation. Minimum Qualifications: PhD in Earth Science, Environmental Science, Biogeochemistry, or related field by start date. Preferred
Qualifications: Experience with Quaternary geochronology and paleoenvironments, background in organic geochemistry, track record of peer-reviewed publications. Application review begins August 31; start date is flexible.
