Postdoctoral Fellow |
Name: Adriana Dutkiewicz Email: adriana@es.usyd.edu.au Organization: University of Sydney Date: 27 Nov 2001 Time: 19:47:06 Job_Description: Postdoctoral Fellow in Organic Geochemistry/Biogeochemistry School of Geosciences, University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia REF NO: A45/002149 Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in organic geochemistry or biogeochemistry, studying hydrocarbon biomarkers in Precambrian oil and kerogen. The aim is to discover molecular fossils in well-preserved Archaean and Proterozoic rocks from Australia, South Africa and Canada that constrain the early evolution of microbial ecosystems. The position, working with Adriana Dutkiewicz, Graham Logan, Roger Summons and Roger Buick, is funded by an ARC grant. It is laboratory oriented, though opportunities for field work may arise. It will be based at the School of Geosciences, University of Sydney, but most laboratory work will be undertaken at AGSO Geoscience Australia in Canberra. It will also involve substantial interaction with the NASA Astrobiology Institute, the University of Washington in Seattle and MIT in Boston. The successful applicant must have a PhD with experience in organic geochemical techniques, including GC/MS. Proven research ability and evidence of research potential are essential, as are evidence of the ability to work both individually and cooperatively, and good written and oral communication skills. Demonstrated research abilities in lipid biomarker geochemistry, Precambrian biogeochemistry and/or fluid inclusion geochemistry are highly desirable. Technical experience in stable isotope geochemistry, environmental microbiology and/or Precambrian geology are also desirable. The position is full-time fixed term for two years, subject to the completion of a satisfactory probation period for new appointees. There is the possibility of further offers of employment, subject to funding and need. Membership of a University approved superannuation scheme is a condition of employment for new appointees. For further information, please contact Dr Adriana Dutkiewicz on (02) 9351 5192 or e-mail: adriana@es.usyd.edu.au , Graham.Logan@agso.gov.au, rsummons@mit.edu or buick@ess.washington.edu.
