Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Biochemistry
1 week ago
**Fixed term for 3 years**
The Department of Earth Sciences seeks a Postdoctoral Research Assistant (PDRA) to join a research team and report to the Principal Investigator Prof. Robert Hilton on the project “RIV-ESCAPE: River emissions of greenhouse gases from warming landscapes” which is funded by a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant.
The overall aim of the project is to better constrain how and why carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions from rivers will change as landscapes warm. To do this, the PDRA will interrogate the carbon pools that drive greenhouse gas production, delivery and release from river surfaces. Fieldwork and sample collection will focus on the Arctic river tributaries of the Mackenzie River Basin, Canada, which drain old carbon stocks that are warming rapidly. A nested approach will be used across scales, from sites of permafrost thaw and slumping, to large river channels that transport large quantities of carbon.
The PDRA will employ a range of geochemical approaches to quantify the source, age and reactivity of organic matter (including Ramped Oxidation and C isotopes), aiming to assess the vulnerability of these carbon pools to loss and the production of greenhouse gases.
You will be responsible for managing your own academic research and administrative activities, adapting existing and developing new scientific techniques and experimental protocols as well as testing hypotheses and analysing scientific data from a variety of sources.
You will contribute ideas for new research projects, develop ideas for generating research income and collaborate in the preparation of scientific reports and journal articles. You will also design, use and maintain specialist scientific equipment in a field and laboratory environment.
You will hold, or be close to completion, of a relevant PhD/DPhil and with previous experience of geochemical methods to quantify and characterise organic matter and/or inorganic carbon in solid samples. You will also have previous experience of stable isotope geochemistry and/or radiocarbon methods, planning fieldwork and contributing to data collection in the field.
You must have excellent communication skills including the ability to write for publication, present research proposals and results, and represent the research group at meetings.
For further details of the role please see the job description.
This role is fixed term for 3 years.
