Computational Geochemistry Summer 2011 Student Internship

A summer job for a junior, senior or early career graduate student in geochemistry, chemistry, or a related field is available at Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, NM.  Research will involve conducting classical molecular dynamics simulations on problems related to carbon sequestration, nuclear waste glass dissolution or contaminant adsorption to iron oxyhydroxides.   Applicants with some experience in molecular modeling or a strong background in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics are preferred.  Applicants must be U.S. citizens, have high GPAs (3.2 for undergraduate, 3.5 for graduate student), and have been full time students for the last two semesters.  Summer students typically work for 10-12 weeks in the summer.  For further information, please send a resume to Louise Criscenti at ljcrisc@sandia.gov This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Postdoctoral Researcher in Environmental Microbiology and Geobiology, Duke University, USA

The Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Duke University is seeking a full-time postdoctoral researcher in environmental microbiology and/or geobiology. The postdoctoral associate will be mentored by Dr. Heileen Hsu-Kim and Dr. Marc Deshusses and will participate in research projects on mercury sulfide nanogeochemistry and mercury methylation in contaminated sediments. The overall objective of this research is to elucidate and model the biogeochemical processes that control mercury speciation and biomethylation potential in sediments.

Young Earth-Scientists for Society Network (YES) Geomicrobiology Initiative

The YES Network is an international association of early-career geoscientists who are primarily under the age of 35 years and are from universities, geoscience organizations and companies from across the world. Over the last decade the interdisciplinary domain of Geobiology including geomicrobiology has generated plenty of interests among geologists, earth scientists and biologists. New discoveries in geomicrobiology has significantly changed the way we think about the origin and evolution of life on earth. YES Geomicrobiology is an initiative of YES Network to motivate early-career geoscientists to pursue research in geobiology and also encourage collaboration amongst geologists, geochemists microbiologists and environmental scientists. Through this platform ideas will be exchanged among YES Network members in areas of geobiology including geomicrobiology. Job openings/PhD positions/Meetings and workshops/grants applications relevant to the field of geomicrobiology will be posted on a regular basis. Opportunities for establishing long-term international research collaborative link amongst early career geoscientists will be actively explored from this platform.
