Postdoctoral Researcher - Noble Gas Geochemistry

Postdoctoral Researcher - Noble Gas Geochemistry The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Syracuse University seeks applicants for a Postdoctoral Researcher to assist in the management of the Noble Gas Geochemistry laboratory and perform noble gas geochemistry research. This is a fully funded, full-time, one-year position, subject to renewal. The candidate will operate the laboratory’s two state‑of‑the‑art noble gas mass spectrometers (a Helix SFT and an Argus VI) and two extraction and purification lines (one for fluids and one for rocks). The candidate will conduct experimental noble gas work in shallow and deep groundwater, natural gas, and rock samples, and will collaborate with faculty members in ongoing research projects with the possibility to conduct independent research. The successful candidate may also participate in teaching, including lectures and laboratory instruction of undergraduate and graduate students. Applicants should have a demonstrated record of research and publication and hold a PhD in geochemistry or a related field before starting this position. Applications will be evaluated as soon as they are received and the position will remain open until filled. Qualifications Ph.D. in geochemistry or a related field before starting this position. Demonstrated potential for excellence in research, evidenced by a solid publication record or significant research accomplishments. Job Specific Qualifications Comfortable in a diversity of programming environments and proactive at finding solutions and developing new methodologies. Experience with noble gas (or gas source) mass spectrometry, maintaining ultrahigh vacuum systems, programming in LabVIEW (or Python) and Qtegra, excellent written and oral communication skills, and a track record in academic publications. Solid knowledge of noble gas analysis procedures is desired but not required. Responsibilities Run samples and troubleshoot noble gas mass spectrometers. Build computational models of noble gas geochemistry results. Communicate results clearly both in oral and written formats, including talks, poster sessions, and journal articles. Mentor graduate and undergraduate students, purchase supplies, participate in literature discussions, and contribute to writing proposals. Other duties as assigned.
