Postdoctoral Scholar in Earth and Planetary Sciences at UCR

I am seeking to hire a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of California, Riverside to pursue independent research in my group. I am seeking a researcher who would work on project(s) that is/are broadly related to my research interests. My research has been focused on the effect of bulk redox conditions and volatile contents on igneous rock-forming processes, and the processes that link the compositions of surface environments and the deep interiors of Earth and other rocky planets. The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at UCR has a diverse faculty with expertise ranging from exoplanets, seismicity and fault motions, deep Earth structure, paleoceanography paleoclimate, Earth history, and organic geochemistry. I am particularly interested in researchers who can describe a vision for collaborative and cross-disciplinary work, within our departmental expertise and/or beyond. Appointment will be for one year, with the option to renew for a second year pending satisfactory progress.                                                                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                                                                  
Job Requirements: Skills: A Ph.D. in Earth Sciences or a closely related field, with laboratory, analytical, experimental, and/or theoretical experience in geochemistry, igneous, and/or metamorphic petrology. The successful candidate must possess excellent organizational, interpersonal, and communication (both verbal and written) skills, including a strong record of peer-reviewed publications. Ability to work collaboratively in a department with diverse research interests is required.
