Postdoctoral Research Associate in Environmental Mineralogy
The Soil and Environmental Biogeochemistry Group in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management at the University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY, USA is seeking candidates for a postdoctoral position in Environmental Mineralogy to work on mineral formation using in situ liquid cell transmission electron microscopy (LC-TEM). The 3-year project is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (FY2016 – FY2019), which will start on August 1, 2016. The annual salary is $40,000 with full benefits.

Manganese (Mn) oxides are versatile minerals and have both economic and environmental significance, but little is known regarding their formation mechanisms. This project will determine nucleation and particle growth mechanisms of layered and tunneled manganese (Mn) oxides using cutting-edge in situ liquid cell transmission electron microscopy (LC TEM). Synchrotron X-ray techniques, such as X-ray atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis, will also be used.
Requirement for consideration of applications includes:
1) A Ph.D. degree in appropriate areas of Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Materials Science, and Chemistry, or a closely related field.
2) Strong academic and research background in mineral (other inorganic materials) formation.
3) Proficient in operating high-resolution TEM (HR-TEM) instruments and have extensive experience in HR-TEM characterization of inorganic materials.
4) LC-TEM experience is not required, but preferred.
5) Work independently.
6) Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
7) Candidates must be legally able to work in the United States

This is a collaborative project with a staff scientist with expertise on LC-TEM analysis at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, WA. The major portion of the research will be conducted at the University of Wyoming. The post doc will be trained at PNNL for LC-TEM analysis if needed. The post-doc will have opportunities to attend academic conferences, teach or give guest lectures for a Soil Mineralogy course, and mentor graduate students in the group.

Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vita, and names and contact information for at least 3 referees who can provide a letter of recommendation upon request, to Dr. Mengqiang (Mike) Zhu at mzhu6@uwyo.edu. In the cover letter, applicants need to state research interests and experience addressing the criteria listed above and give a date of availability. All documents must be submitted as a single pdf file. The application review will start immediately and continues until the position is filled. Anticipated project start date is August 1, 2016, but later start dates for the successful candidate can be considered. For more information regarding the position, please contact Dr. Mengqiang Zhu (307-766-5523, mzhu6@uwyo.edu).

The University of Wyoming is located in Laramie, a town of 30,000 in the heart of the Rocky Mountain West. Located on a high plain between the Laramie and Snowy Range mountains, Laramie has excellent access to public lands that provide opportunities for skiing, hiking, camping, bicycling, fishing and climbing. The community provides the advantages of a major university and a distinctive identity as an important city in a frontier state. Laramie is near many of Colorado's major cities and university communities (Fort Collins: 1 hour; Boulder: 1.5 hours; Denver: 2 hours; Colorado Springs; 4 hours).
