The successful applicant will have the opportunity to join a multidisciplinary team working on atmospheric chemistry and ice core science. The successful applicant will be expected to:
1. Interact with an atmospheric modeler to isolate a short-list of promising oxidation products to be searched for in ice cores from different locations (including Antarctica).
2. Contribute to data analysis to extract atmospheric chemistry information from organic compounds determined in ice cores.
3. Provide reports (written and oral) for project partners and funders.
4. Lead and contribute to scientific publications, and present results at international conferences.
5. Participate in group meetings, internal thematic meetings, and external project meetings.
The successful applicant may also have the opportunity to engage in:
1. Teaching and supervising final year or Masters projects.
2. Overseeing other research personnel.
3. Providing orientation to new lab members.
4. Performing other duties as assigned.
Applicants should have (or be about to obtain) a PhD in a relevant area. Experience in liquid chromatography mass spectrometry is essential, experience with triple-quadrupoles or QTRAP mass analyser is an advantage, as would additional experience/knowledge in working in cleanroom facilities. Demonstrated research experience, excellent communication skills, critical thinking, trouble-shooting attitude, and openness to collaborating with internal and external partners is desirable.
