Professional Research Assistant: Lab Manager in organic and trace metal geochemistry

Profs. Julio Sepúlveda and Tom Marchitto are seeking a full-time laboratory manager to oversee the Organic Geochemistry and Trace Metal Labs in INSTAAR and the Department of Geological Sciences at CU Boulder. The starting date is flexible, although Fall 2022 is preferred.

We are looking for a highly motivated individual with excellent communication and organizational skills to oversee instrumentation in gas and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-QQQ-MS and HPLC-Orbitrap MS), and magnetic sector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Our research groups investigate organic and inorganic chemical signatures in both modern and ancient sedimentary systems to address key questions in oceanography, biogeochemistry, paleoceanography and paleoclimatology, and geobiology.

What we require:

• Bachelor’s degree in the natural sciences, engineering, or related fields. 
• At least one year of demonstrated experience with the operation and maintenance of mass spectrometers and peripherals.
• Ability to train and supervise students, post-docs, and research staff in laboratory methods.
