Postdoctoral Position in Stable Isotope Geochemistry

A postdoctoral position in stable isotope geochemistry is available at the
Institute of Geochemistry, University of Vienna, Austria. Funding for the
position comes from an interdisciplinary project on impact research; thus,
main areas of work are related to studies of impact craters and
stratigraphic boundaries, but some additional research is possible as well.
The postdoctoral fellow will be responsible for the operation of the newly
acquired Micromass Optima dual inlet mass spectrometer (with an elemental
analyzer for measurement of C and S isotopes in a He-flow, and an automatic
single-bath carbonate and water analysis system). Expertise with comparable
instrumentation is essential and a Ph.D. is required; additional good
knowledge of general geochemistry, petrology, and cosmochemistry is
desirable, and interest in impact-related research would be beneficial. The
position is initially available for one year, but may be renewed for a
total of up to three years. Good knowledge of English is necessary, and
some knowledge of German is helpful but not required. There is no
restriction on citizenship. For details on the Institute of Geochemistry,
see our web page: http://www.univie.ac.at/geochemistry/. To apply, please
send e-mail, fax, or mail to: Prof. Dr. Christian Koeberl, Institute of
Geochemistry, University of Vienna, Althanstrasse 14, A-1090 Vienna,
Austria (e-mail: [log in to unmask]; fax: +0043-1-31336-781)
and include a CV, publication list, details of experience and research
interest, and names and e-mails of at least two scientists who are prepared
to give references. The position is available from March 1999; applications
are requsted as soon as possible, with a decision anticipated after January
20, 1999. More information can be obtained from C. Koeberl or from Dr.
