Postdoc and research scientist positions at International Center for Isotope Effects Research in Nanjing University

International Center for Isotope Effects Research (ICIER) is a cross-discipline and cross-college research center in Nanjing University (NJU). ICIER focuses on frontier researches that explore high dimensional isotope signatures, e.g. triple oxygen and quadruple sulfur, clumped, site-specific, and bonded isotopes, and their applications to diverse science problems. ICIER is equipped with state-of-the-art mass spectrometers and high-performance computing clusters for that focus. The Center will expand to about 20 in the next 5 years. More information about ICIER can be found at https://icier-nju.org/.

We are now recruiting postdocs and research scientists to join us. Once in these positions, you are still eligible to compete globally for Center’s tenure-track or tenured faculty lines.

Current projects include (with no particular order):

Modern- and paleo-atmosphere chemistry

Chemical reaction network and kinetics

Interfacial (e.g. mineral growth and dissolution; evaporation) and enzymatic kinetics

Methane, sulfur, and nitrogen biogeochemistry

Numerical modeling associated with C-O-S-H-N or water cycles in deep Earth history

Mantle geochemistry and planetary processes

Molecular dynamic simulations, machine learning, and DFT calculations

Development of high-resolution mass spectrometry

Please feel free to contact us to discuss potential projects listed or not listed above.

Preferred qualifications:

PhD degree or equivalent in geology, atmosphere, oceanography, biology, environment, physics, chemistry, applied mathematics, computer science, or related fields.

Salary and Benefits:

Competitive; being commensurate with experience and qualification.
