POST-DOCTORAL
POSITIONS
INSTITUTE FOR
COMPUTATIONAL EARTH SYSTEM SCIENCE
Area of Research: The
effects of nanomaterials (NMs)
in the environment, at scales ranging from cellular processes, to population
and community dynamics, to transport and fates in ecosystems.
A multidisciplinary team of scientists is seeking several postdoctoral-level fellows to study the effects of nanomaterials (NMs) in the environment, at scales ranging from cellular processes, to population and community dynamics, to transport and fates in ecosystems. The specific project opportunities will depend on the interests and experience of the applicant, but include: NM interactions with prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells; impacts of NMs on whole-organism fitness and population dynamics, mesocosm studies detailing the effects of NMs on terrestrial ecosystems and freshwater and marine food-webs, and fate and transport studies tracking the aggregation, deposition and environmental reactions of NMs.
Applicants should possess a Ph.D. in environmental engineering, ecology, environmental microbiology, molecular biology, environmental chemistry, or toxicology, and have demonstrated experience in related research, and a record of communicating research results.
The position will be available starting October 1, 2008,
subject to receipt of funding from NSF, and is full time with a salary of
$41,496-$47,328 (plus health benefits) depending on experience. The initial appointment
is for 1-year on this multiyear project; continuation beyond 1 year will be
based on performance. Applicants should submit a CV, a statement of research
interests, and the names of three referees to imelda@icess.ucsb.edu. Initial review
of applications will begin on
An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
