Metal-sulfur Geochemistry
The NanoGeoBio Laboratory in the School of Molecular Sciences, Arizona State University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scholar to pursue projects on metal sulfide systems, including their formation mechanisms, crystal structure, and potential electron transfer between different metal species. While candidates with solid background in geochemistry, mineralogy, or geomicrobiology are most desirable, those with background in materials science and inorganic chemistry are also highly relevant.
Initial appointment will be made for a fiscal year (12-month), full-time, renewal for up to three years. The position is currently open, and will remain open until filled.
The hired candidate is expected to adhere to laboratory culture and safety, conduct research and experiments independently, communicate scientific findings clearly (presentations, protocol, and manuscripts), and contribute to the supervision of undergraduate and graduate students.
Qualifications:
Candidates must have a Ph.D. in mineralogy, geochemistry, materials science, chemistry or related fields.
Candidates with multidisciplinary backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
Candidates with prior experience with any of the following techniques, e.g., TEM, synchrotron XAS, PDF, or voltammetry are preferred.

Arizona State University is a new model for American higher education, an unprecedented combination of academic excellence, entrepreneurial energy and broad access. This New American University is a single, unified institution comprising four differentiated campuses positively impacting the economic, social, cultural and environmental health of the communities it serves. Its research is inspired by real world application blurring the boundaries that traditionally separate academic disciplines.
ASU serves more than 80,000 students in metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona, the nation's fifth largest city. ASU champions intellectual and cultural diversity, and it welcomes students from all fifty states and more than one hundred nations across the globe. At ASU, our belief that a solution can be created for every problem is why we’ve been ranked No. 1 in the US for innovation, and why we repeatedly rank No. 1 in areas that matter such as sustainability and global impact.
The College values our cultural and intellectual diversity, and continually strives to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment. We are especially interested in applicants who can strengthen the diversity of the academic community.
