Post-Doctoral position in Analytical Geochemistry.

The Geochemistry program at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL), Florida State University (FSU), seeks a researcher in analytical geochemistry. The candidate selected is expected to conduct research on the environmental impacts of, remediation strategies for, and recovery of critical elements from, industrial waste. The initial appointment will be for one year, with renewal for up to two additional years conditional upon performance and availability of funding. Salary will be commensurate with experience.

A PhD in geochemistry, analytical chemistry, environmental chemistry or other field providing expertise in analytical geochemistry is required. Candidates with expertise in ICP-MS analysis, ion exchange chromatography, and environmental radionuclides are sought. Experience in geochemical modeling software and electron beam microanalysis would be helpful. Geochemical facilities available include high resolution ICP-MS (Thermo Element 2™, Element XR™), a Class-100 clean laboratory, laser ablation systems, ion chromatography, gamma spectrometry, x-ray diffraction and electron microscopy.

Interested applicants should submit a CV, statement of research interests, and the names and contact information of three references to Munir Humayun (humayun@magnet.fsu.edu). Review of applications will begin February 20, 2023 and continue until the position is filled.

The NHMFL is operated for the National Science Foundation by a collaboration of institutions comprising FSU, UF, and LANL. FSU is an Equal Opportunity/Access/Affirmative Action/Pro Disabled & Veteran Employer. We encourage women and all underrepresented racial and ethnic groups to apply.
