Job Summary

POSTDOC OPPORTUNITY: LABORATORY SPECTROSCOPY OF EARTH & PLANETARY MATERIALS

The Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Science at Purdue University has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher to support the Planetary Spectroscopy Laboratory at Purdue, which is part of PRECISE (Purdue Resources Empowering Coordinated Investigations for Sample Exploration), a NASA Planetary Science Enabling Facility. The position will include development of new laboratory facilities (reflectance point and imaging spectroscopy, FTIR, environmental analog chambers, etc.), support for external users of the lab through PRECISE, and science investigations utilizing the lab along with other PRECISE facilities, potentially supported by analog field work or analysis of planetary remote sensing data.

PRECISE provides a unique suite of 13 analytical laboratories enabling a wide range of investigations of planetary materials, including studies in geochronology, petrology, isotope geochemistry, planetary spectroscopy, microscopy, and magnetism. Possible research areas for the position include but are not limited to: planetary analog studies of igneous, impact, and aqueous processes on the Moon, Mars, and Venus; space weathering, meteorites, and regolith; and habitability and bio signature preservation.

A PhD in geology, planetary science, or a closely related field is required. Experience in reflectance, emission, or FTIR spectroscopy is preferred. The position is available immediately and is expected to run for 2 years, with opportunities to seek additional funding.

Please direct all questions to Prof. Briony Horgan (briony@purdue.edu). Applications must include a CV and a research statement describing the candidate’s relevant expertise and research interests that would be enabled by the position. A background check is required for employment in this position. The position will remain open until filled, but review of applications will begin on April 1, 2025.

Purdue University is an EEO/AA employer fully committed to achieving a diverse workforce. All individuals, including minorities, women, individuals with disabilities, and protected veterans are encouraged to apply.
