Postdoctoral position is available at the University of Oklahoma, 
Department of Geology and Geophysics to develop and optimize 
continuous flow gas chromatography-isotope ratio mass spectrometry 
methods for carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis of explosives 
(TNT, RDX and their transformation products) and develop sample 
preparation techniques for recovery of the analytes from groundwater 
for isotope analysis. The position is initially for one-year position 
with the opportunity of extension for additional year. The starting 
date for the position is March 2007.

The successful candidate will work with Finnigan DeltaPlus configured 
for measurement of 15N, 13C and D. Another GCIRMS unit and several 
GCMS and HPLC instruments are also available in the group.

Hands-on experience in mass spectrometry is required. Experience with 
continuous-flow IRMS and track record with development of original 
analytical applications is highly desirable. A Ph.D. or equivalent 
degree is required, but the area of degree study is not as important 
as the experience with mass spectrometry.

Applicants should email their CV, a brief statement of research 
experience and interest and contact information for three references 
to Paul Philp ([log in to unmask])

Any questions about the position can be sent to the same email address.
