Ion Microprobe Research Associates, UW-Madison

The University of Wisconsin is seeking two 
creative and productive scientists to pursue 
novel applications of our new CAMECA 1280 SIMS. 
This lab is optimized for in situ analysis of 
stable isotope ratios. For oxygen isotopes, 
precision of ±0.1” can be obtained from 10 micron 
spots.

Position 1. Interest in light stable isotopes, 
diagenesis and paleoclimate is required. 
Experience with SIMS, electron beam instruments, 
or mass-spectrometry is highly desirable.

Position 2. Experience with SIMS is required. 
Interest in light element stable isotope 
geochemistry is desirable.

Duties will include a mix of independent 
published research, development of new 
procedures, operation and maintenance of the 
1280, and assistance and/or collaboration with 
guests to the lab.

Please send letter of interest, cv, and names and 
contact information for 3-5 references to
Prof. John Valley, [log in to unmask]

Evaluation of applications will begin immediately 
and continue until position is filled.

An ad will run in EOS, Feb. 6 - 13, 2007.

UW is an equal opportunity employer.
