Dear Friends, The University of Texas at Austin has an excellent program on karst and speleothem geochemistry and has just announced the following postdoctoral position. For more information, please read the announcement below and contact Dr. Jay Banner as indicated.
Please share this message with anyone you think may be interested, and have a Happy New Year! George ------------------------- Postdoctoral Fellow position in speleothem and groundwater geochemistry Jackson School of Geosciences, University of Texas at Austin The Department of Geological Sciences in the Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of Texas at Austin offers a position for a postdoctoral fellow to conduct research in the areas of groundwater geochemical evolution and paleoclimate reconstructions. These studies are focused on the limestone aquifer and caves in Guam in the tropical western Pacific, in collaboration with the Water and Environmental Research Institute of the Western Pacific at the University of Guam. The research involves groundwater and rainwater geochemistry, including stable and radiogenic isotopes, and paleoclimate, including reconstructions using speleothems and assessments of speleothem proxies in the modern hydrologic system. The postdoctoral fellow will lead the analyses and interpretations of the geochemical time series and manage the project database. Requirements include a Ph.D. in relevant discipline(s) and one or more of the following areas of expertise: 1) stable and radiogenic isotope geochemistry of groundwater; 2) hydrogeology of karst systems; 3) petrography and geochemistry of speleothem calcite; 4) U-series isotopes analytical methods; and 5) tropical Pacific climate and time-series analysis. The Department and Jackson School have excellent analytical facilities in isotope geochemistry and a wide range of karst and climate science research expertise. Pending arrival of funding, the position will be available starting in spring 2014 and may be renewed for up to a total appointment of four years. Typical starting salary for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department is $50K/annually plus benefits. To apply send a CV including the names of three references to Jay Banner, [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. Review of applications will begin on January 13 and continue until position is filled. Security sensitive position, and final selection dependent on successful background check. The University of Texas at Austin is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. ******************** George Veni, Ph.D. Executive Director National Cave and Karst Research Institute 400-1 Cascades Avenue Carlsbad, New Mexico 88220-6215 USA Office: 575-887-5517 Mobile: 210-863-5919 Fax: 575-887-5523 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> www.nckri.org<http://www.nckri.org>
