SRA 1 - 135206

The Geosciences Research Division (GRD) is home to a diverse set of academics and staff whose interests cover a wide variety of topics in the atmospheric, marine and solid Earth sciences. In many cases, these topics are cross-disciplinary but they include essential components of the following core themes: the geochemistry of the solid, liquid and gaseous Earth, cosmochemistry (meteorites, asteroids and other planetary bodies), paleoceanography and paleoclimate, stratigraphy and sedimentology, geobiology and paleoecology, global and regional tectonics, paleomagnetism and hydrogeology. Research activities encompass modeling studies, laboratory experiments, and field-based expeditions, including ship-time, with GRD members taking full advantage of the extensive research facilities on offer within the division and at SIO.

This position is jointly based in the Schartup and Aarons laboratories, both of which use geochemical tools to analyze trace metals in environmental samples. Under supervision and guidance, assist in wide ranging laboratory research work such as purification of clean lab vessels and sample processing under clean lab conditions. Processing and analysis of seawater, fish and sediment samples using trace metal clean techniques. Responsible for maintaining complete and accurate records of geochemistry and data analysis. This role offers an excellent opportunity for individuals interested in environmental geochemistry and laboratory research.
