*Staff Scientist in Geophysics, Geochemistry, and/or Cosmochemistry
https://jobs.carnegiescience.edu/jobs/staff-scientist-in-geophysics-geochemistry-andor-cosmochemistry/*







The Department of Terrestrial Magnetism (DTM) at the Carnegie Institution
for Science seeks applicants for the position of Staff Scientist in the
broad categories of geophysics, geochemistry, and/or cosmochemistry. We
are particularly interested in innovative researchers whose observations
help to constrain the role of fluids (e.g., water, other volatiles, melt)
in: the past and present evolution of the solid Earth; the formation and
early development of Earth’s atmosphere; and/or the origin of volatiles on
Earth and other rocky planets. Subfields of interest include, but are not
limited to, geodesy, geo/cosmochemistry, magnetotellurics, noble gases,
remote sensing, seismology, and/or astrochemistry. Applicants who
integrate across traditional boundaries are particularly encouraged to
apply. The applicant should complement existing strengths within the
Department (http://dtm.carnegiescience.edu/research). We especially
encourage applications from early career scientists and from members of
traditionally underrepresented groups.

The Carnegie Institution is a basic research organization with a history of
innovative instrumentation development. DTM staff scientists hold 12-month
salaried appointments and pursue independent research supported by a
combination of endowment and federal funds. DTM staff scientists do not
have teaching duties, but we place considerable emphasis on the mentoring
of postdoctoral scholars.

Applications should be submitted online here (
https://jobs.carnegiescience.edu/jobs/dtm/) and should include a curriculum
vitae, a brief statement of research plans, and abstracts from the
applicant’s three most important papers. Please also provide the names,
email addresses, and phone numbers of three professional referees, whose
letters may be requested by DTM. Review of the applications will begin on
August 1, 2016. Please contact the chair of the search committee Lara
Wagner with any questions regarding this position by email at
lwagner<at>carnegiescience.edu. The Carnegie Institution is an Equal
Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration
for employment and will not be discriminated against on the basis of
gender, race/ethnicity, protected veteran status, disability, or other
protected group status.
