Description
Description:
The research for this position will involve the development of analytical protocols for detection of biosignatures using liquid based analysis. This includes extraction protocols and analysis by capillary electrophoresis coupled to multiple detection systems targeting a range of organic and inorganic compounds relevant to the search for life. This research will utilize both commercial capillary electrophoresis instruments and custom built hardware.
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in chemistry or a chemistry-related discipline with a strong background in analytical chemistry. Experience in capillary electrophoresis coupled to fluorescence detection and electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry is highly desirable. Experience analyzing natural samples is also a significant asset.
