Job description
School: Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
Department/Area: Environmental Science and Engineering
Position Description
Two postdoctoral positions are available immediately in the Biogeochemistry of Global Contaminants Group at Harvard University ( One position will focus on the biogeochemistry of mercury using mercury stable isotope measurements. The second position will involve research on analytical method development for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Both positions may also provide opportunities for field sampling and time at sea. Regular interactions and collaborations with group members and students can be expected.Basic Qualifications
Ph.D. in analytical chemistry, environmental chemistry or a related discipline.Additional Qualifications
For the first position, extensive experience analyzing stable mercury isotopes using a Neptune MC-ICP-MS is a requirement. Candidate should also be familiar with speciated mercury measurements. For the second position, extensive analytical experience with organic contaminants is a requirement. Training on specific methodologies used to measure PFAS will be provided. Experience with non-targeted, high resolution mass spectrometry methods would be an asset. Instruments used in the lab include an Agilent 6460 LC-MS/MS, Metrohm CIC, and Agilent 6460 LC-MS/MS.Special Instructions
To apply please submit a curriculum vitae, contact information for three references, a 1-paragraph statement of interest, and two example publications. Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) is dedicated to building a diverse and welcoming community, and we strongly encourage applications from historically underrepresented groups.Contact Information
