The University of Leeds announces recruitment for a postdoctoral
research position. This position is for a fixed term of four years. The
position is based in Leeds, United Kindgom.

The research position is part of the "Black and Bloom" project that
investigates the impact of microbial processes that darken and

using state-of-the-art microscopic, mass spectrometric, and spectroscopic
techniques. Over the four years of the post, several month long field
campaigns to Greenland as well as at least two, one-month to three-month
temporary postings to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ)
in Potsdam, Germany for detailed analyses will be a critical part of
this role.

The applicant should have a PhD and research experience in a relevant
area of geochemistry, with a strong track record in microscopy and
micro-spectroscopic characterizations of geomaterials, and documented
skills in state-of-the-art solid and aqueous chemical analytical
techniques. The applicant must be able to demonstrate a commitment to
publication of original results at an international level.

Application deadline: Tuesday, 15 March 2016.
