| The University of Florida Department of Soil, Water, and Ecosystem Sciences is seeking a Chemist II to join the SWES ICP-Mass Spectrometry Laboratory Team. This position will focus on metals analysis, ICP-MS operation, and mineralogical characterization. This Chemist II will be based in McCarty Hall A (at the Main Campus in Gainesville, FL) and will be advised by Dr. Jonathan Judy in the Soil, Water and Ecosystem Sciences Department.
This position will be linked to the operation of departmental core labs. The successful candidate will work almost exclusively in the lab, though opportunities may exist to support field activities if the successful candidate is interested. The successful candidate will have experience in the operation of ICP-MS and metals analysis in general. The successful candidate will join a welcoming research program where work-life balance is a priority. The expected near-term throughput/number of samples to be analyzed in our lab is relatively small compared to many operations and as a result, this position is being offered at 0.75 FTE. However, the potential exists to scale this position up to 1.0 FTE in the future.
