URL: http://international.anl.gov
Company / Organization: International Atomic Energy Agency
Pay Rate: $76,900
Type: Full-time
City: Monaco
State or Country if outside US: Monaco
Application Deadline: 19-Nov-14
Duration: Two years
Description:
The Junior Laboratory Analyst will conduct laboratory tests related to on-going research and development work on using carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes to assess organic matter cycling in the marine environment, fingerprinting oil contaminant sources and investigating eutrophication processes in the coastal marine environment. The Junior Laboratory Analyst will contribute to the development and optimization of analytical methods for stable light isotopes analysis (C and N) and participates in studies in view of assisting Members States understanding climate change and pollution processes in vulnerable coastal marine ecosystems. The Junior Laboratory Analyst will be further involved in the procurement for and maintenance of laboratory equipment, supporting overall operations and participated in the training of fellows. He/she will carry out analysis of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes using Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) and assist in optimizing recommend methods for the analysis of light stable isotopes and evaluation of the results, to understand climate change and pollution processes. He/she will apply stable isotopes techniques in fingerprinting pollution sources and provide training courses to fellows and other trainees in the laboratory. The Junior Laboratory Analyst will also prepare and revise standard operating procedures (SOPs), collaborate in the establishment and maintenance of the laboratory's quality system and maintain the general laboratory facilities according to the ISO 17025 standard (inventory, sample registration, sample handing, training records etc.
Requirements:
• Good practical knowledge of analytical techniques for the analysis of stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen using Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS). • Working knowledge of ISO 17025 standard and Good Laboratory Practice. • Basic knowledge on statistics. • Ability to work in a multi-cultural setting, with sensitivity and respect for diversity. • Ability to carry out assigned tasks in a timely manner under minimal supervision. • Ability to document performed experiments and to prepare reports • U.S. citizen • 18-32 years old • University degree in chemistry, environmental sciences or a related scientific field with a demonstrated strong laboratory component in the field of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes analysis. • Minimum of two years of relevant professional experience in the field of analytical chemistry • Publications in this field would be of advantage.
