The Carnegie Institution's Earth and Planets Laboratory invites applications for a two-year postdoctoral research position to conduct studies on the origin of presolar stardust grains in meteorites. The primary focus will be on isotopic measurements by secondary ion mass spectrometry (Cameca NanoSIMS 50L) and resonance ionization mass spectrometry (Univ. of Chicago CHILI) and the interpretation of isotopic data in the context of astrophysical models. Additional work may involve Raman and infrared spectroscopy, and focused ion beam preparation of samples for transmission electron microscopy and synchrotron transmission X-ray microscopy. Required qualifications for the position include a Ph.D. in a relevant discipline and experience in one or more of these techniques. Applications should be submitted online at https://jobs.carnegiescience.edu/jobs/dtm and should include a curriculum vitae and list of publications, description of thesis research, and contact information for three professional references. Submission details are available when you click on the “Apply Now” button. Review of the applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Please address any questions you have to Dr. Larry Nittler.
