University of East Anglia is being established. The initial appointment is
for a 3 year peiod with the possibility of extension beyond this. The
position is a full faculty appointment with responsibilities for helping
the laboratory director (Paul Dennis) to manage and develop the existing
facilities, contributing isotope chemistry expertise to collaborative
research with other faculty across wide ranging interests and also pursuing
independent research.

The successful candidate should have extensive practical experience of
natural abundance stable isotope mass spectrometry and a strong and
developing research record.

The position is to be advertised in the national and international press.

Very briefly the laboratory has 3 dual-inlet stable isotope ratio mass
spectrometers plus associated sample prep. lines and is active in areas
such as palaeoclimate studies, hydrogeology and palaeo-hydrogeology,
oceanography and atmospheric studies using hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen,
oxygen and sulphur stable isotopes. Researchers with wide ranging
backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
