Position summary
A Postdoctoral Research Associate position is available in a collaborative project of the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering (CHEE) and the Department of Soil, Water and Environmental Science (SWES). The selected candidate will conduct research on the fate and remediation of new munition ingredients (aromatic- and aliphatic nitro compounds), prepare timely reports on the results of this research in the form of peer-reviewed papers and scientific presentations, supervise graduate and undergraduate students, and write research grant proposals to various funding agencies. The candidate will be expected to have working knowledge in the fields of contaminant (bio)-transformation and molecular microbial ecology, and should have a proven track record of exemplary research publications, presentations, and excellent communication skills. Part of the research is subject to the U.S. Arms Export Control Act, which may limit participation of nationals from some foreign countries in the project.
The candidate will be hired with an initial contract for one year that can be extended for an additional 1.5 years with satisfactory performance.
