The W.M. Keck Foundation Center for Isotope Geochemistry
at UCLA is seeking a research scientist to support day-to-day operation
of its CAMECA ims 1270 ion microprobe. The Center hosts a team of

cosmochemical studies, and is supported as a NSF National Facility for
ion microprobe research (http://sims.ess.ucla.edu/).
The new staff scientist will:(1) train and advise facility users; (2)
carry out analysis programs designed by principal investigators; and
(3) perform instrument alignment and maintenance tasks. Independent
research is encouraged.
Applicants should have experience in ion microprobe analysis and be
able to work collaboratively with a broad spectrum of geoscientists. A
PhD in geochemistry or related (geochronology, cosmochemistry,
biogeochemistry, material science, and/or environmental science) is
preferred. Experience in application software development is desirable.
The position is available immediately. Evaluation of applications will
begin 11/01/07. Salary and benefits are competitive and
commensurate with the candidate's prior experience. The University of
