The Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University is seeking a post-doctoral researcher in environmental chemistry. Candidates must have a demonstrated record of accomplishment in scientific publication and experience conducting and managing laboratory experiments related to PFAS adsorption and redox chemistry, as well as analytical measurements of PFAS in water. The ability to publish research in high quality journals and meet deadlines, and a commitment to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusivity is expected. Effective English language oral and written communication are required.
This NIH funded position will include interaction with an interdisciplinary research team of faculty, post-docs, Ph.D. and M.S. students at Carnegie Mellon University and with university collaborators. The successful candidate is expected to design and conduct fundamental experiments related to PFAS adsorption and degradation, prepare manuscripts and research reports, co-advise graduate student research, and present findings at national and international professional conferences. The initial appointment is for one year but is renewable for an additional one to two years depending on performance.
Interested applicants should submit their applications through Carnegie Mellon University’s online applications system using this link. Applicants should plan to submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a statement of research interests, a brief DEI (diversity, equity, inclusivity) statement on commitment to creating a safe and equitable research environment, and the contact information for at least three references. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. For more information, please contact Professor Greg Lowry at glowry@cmu.edu.
