    <![CDATA[The School of Chemistry is seeking a qualified and independent organic geochemist to lead the Organic Geochemistry Unit's participation in a NERC funded Consortium Project. The project is led from the University of Southampton, with the partners including the British Antarctic Survey and the University of Newcastle. 

You will lead on the collection of samples for biomarker analyses from hydrothermal vents in the Scotia Sea. You will perform a complete organic geochemical characterization (including extraction, fractionation, GC, GC-MS, GC-IRMS) on approximately 100 cold seep and/or hydrothermal vent sediment samples. Specifically, you will determine archaeal and bacterial lipid distributions and use them to reconstruct the microbial community and key biogeochemical processes.

If successful, you may be appointed either on a fixed term or a permanent contract depending on the extent of your previous relevant research experience. Further information can be found at http://www.bristol.ac.uk/personnel/ftc/
