Assistant Research Scientist Environmental Chemistry
The Assistant Research Scientist, Environmental Chemistry will lead and conduct research on legacy and emerging environmental contaminants and microplastics. This includes investigating contaminant sources, environmental transport, fate, bioavailability and ecosystem and human health consequences. The incumbent will work semi-independently to design, execute, and manage complex research projects, develop and execute experimental protocols, operate and manage analytical instrumentation, originate and contribute to scholarly publications and grant proposals, and mentor students and junior staff. The Hale research group has a long record of collaborations with the VA Dept. of Environmental Quality, VA Dept. of Health, as well as collaborations with EPA, NOAA, NIH and other agency and academic scientists.
The position will be responsible for the full lifecycle of research initiatives—from conception and proposal development to execution, analysis, reporting, and publication. The role requires advanced proficiency in analytical instrumentation, development and application of advanced analysis methods and project management.
This position directly contributes to VIMS’s mission through high-impact scholarship, interagency collaboration, and scientific innovation.
Job Description Required Qualifications
Ph.D. in chemistry, marine science, environmental science, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
Demonstrated experience in conducting/leading successful environmental chemistry-oriented research (i.e. from initial concept to research to publication).
Knowledge of chemical sources, fate, transport, and effects.
Strong scientific writing and oral communication skills.
Strong collaborator in a teamwork setting both in the lab and in the field.
Experience in developing, validating, and applying advanced chemical analyses of organic contaminants in diverse environmental media (water, sediments/soils, sludges, biota, etc.), including sample extraction, extract purification, chromatography, and mass spectrometry.
Experience with QA/QC procedures.
Experience in collecting environmental samples.
Demonstrated ability to produce high quality scholarly publications and non-technical reports.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with advanced mass spectrometric analyses (e.g., time-of-flight, ion trap, or quadrupole technologies).
Demonstrated ability to secure external funding for research projects.
Knowledge of wastewater treatment processes.
Knowledge and experience related to the analysis of microplastics in complex environmental media, e.g. infrared spectroscopy/LDIR.
