A postdoctoral position is available for an NSF-funded project to study biological production of reactive oxygen species superoxide and hydrogen peroxide in the oligotrophic ocean (our primary study site is the ALOHA station vicinity). The work will primarily involve making measurements of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide concentrations and formation rates in the lab and at sea, using FeLume-type flow injection analysis instrumentation. The ideal candidate will have experience doing careful trace-metal clean analytical chemistry and experience planning seagoing work. The project is based at the Colorado School of Mines (located in Golden, CO near Denver and Boulder) and is a close collaboration with Colleen Hansel's microbiology research group at Harvard/WHOI.
For further information, or to apply for the position, e-mail Bettina Voelker.
Application materials (CV, cover letter explaining relevant experience, and names and contact information of three references) should be sent by March 12, 2012.
