Rutgers University
Recruitment/Posting Title POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE Department SEBS-Dept Marine & Coastal Science Salary Annual Salary Posting Summary The Department of Marine & Coastal Sciences, is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate. The Postdoctoral Associate will conduct specialized research linking a collaborative project investigating the provenance of alkenones versus foraminiferal based paleo sea surface temperature proxies in the western Atlantic with a project reconstructing the ventilation of the Indian Ocean over the last glacial cycle It is expected that you have expertise in many of the following areas including planktic and benthic foraminiferal speciation, light stable isotope analysis of carbonates (d18Ocalcite and d13Ccalcite), trace metal analyses of carbonates for temperature reconstruction (e.g. Mg/Ca), preparation of foraminifera for radiocarbon analyses, and age modelling of marine sediment cores.
The Postdoctoral Associate will be expected to participate in an upcoming cruise, data processing and interpretation necessary to conduct the project. It is anticipated that research will lead to publications and the Postdoctoral associate will be expected to prepare manuscripts as well as contribute to the preparation of grant and fellowship applications. The Postdoctoral Associate will also be expected to train and mentor undergraduates in scientific research projects.
The essential duties and responsibilities of this position will be the following:
1.) Preparation of marine sediment samples for foraminiferal-based geochemical analyses.
2.) Speciation of foraminiferal samples by light microscopy.
3.) Conduct and interpret foraminiferal-based geochemical analyses especially radiocarbon and trace metals.
4.) Prepare manuscripts for publication.
5.) Participate in national and international scientific meetings.
6.) Coordinate multi-investigator and multi-institution collaborative interactions with regard to the project.
