It's exciting to see you have funding for a postdoc. If you would like to also send this message to the SEES users email list you can send it to sees_users@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov. It's a moderated list, so you'll get a message saying it will need to be approved, but don't worry about that - someone will approve it so it can go out to the list of about 1800 Earth and environmental science synchrotron users.

We seek a highly motivated individual with a strong background in mineralogy, geochemistry, and X-ray/electron techniques to join the MITHRIL. The primary responsibilities are to conducting original research on either 1)the interactions of minerals and critical elements in aquatic systems; 2) geochemical impact on biominearlization process; or 3) trace element fractionation in paleoenvironmental proxies using mineral synthesis, X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, synchrotron X-ray and complementary approaches.

The initial appointment is for one year, with the possibility of renewal for a second year, contingent upon satisfactory performance reviews. Additiona duration (after the second year) will depende on the PI's funding situation. The proposed start date is Spring 2026 (negotiable).

Detailed information on the position and the application procedure are available here.

Additional questions about this position can be directed to the PI, Dr. Yihang Fang, at yihang.fang@umkc.edu.

Thank you.
