Our core purpose is= =20 to understand earth systems and physics-based technologies and to transform = this knowledge into economic and social benefits for New Zealand. The National Isotope Centre (NIC), a division of GNS Science, is the=20 premier source of applied isotope science capability in New Zealand. Its=20 research and commercial activities are supported by a sophisticated=20 technical infrastructure, including particle accelerators for AMS and ion=20 beam analysis, ion implanters, stable isotope mass spectrometers, a tritium = analysis facility and state-of-the-art chemical sample preparation=20 laboratories. The NIC is in major growth mode, with exciting new science and commercial=20 initiatives particularly in the areas of climate change, soil carbon=20 dynamics, isotope hydrology, and nanotechnology. To complement our=20 international team of dedicated scientists, we now have the following new=20 positions. SENIOR ISOTOPE SCIENTIST AND SECTION MANAGER ENVIRONMENTAL ISOTOPES The Senior Scientist will conduct high-quality scientific research in one=20 of the above environmental isotope science areas and manage staff,=20 equipment, revenue and expenditure of the Section.=20 The ideal candidate will have =95 A post-graduate qualification in earth, environmental or physical=20 sciences. =95 A strong research background in isotope sciences and technologies,=20 particle accelerators, and isotopic dating techniques. =95 The leadership skills necessary to manage and motivate a team of=20 highly talented people in a research and commercial environment. ISOTOPE HYDROLOGIST The Isotope Hydrologist will apply isotope research to studies in hydrology = and natural biogeochemical cycles, develop novel isotope applications in=20 earth and environmental sciences, and contribute to modelling the behaviour = of isotopes in earth and environmental systems. They will also undertake=20 commercial groundwater and isotope studies for a range of commercial=20 clients. The ideal candidate will have =95 A post-graduate qualification, preferably in earth sciences =96=20 hydrogeology =95 Experience in the application of (isotope)geochemistry to=20 groundwater, geothermal or atmospheric research =95 Experience with modelling of isotope and geochemical data =95 Experience in radiochemistry CARBON DYNAMICS SCIENTIST The NIC=92s Rafter Radiocarbon Laboratory will enhance its capability in=20 radiocarbon analysis of chemical biomarkers. The scientist will establish=20 innovative laboratory procedures for extraction and measurement of=20 biomarkers, analyse sample material from New Zealand sites and contribute=20 to modelling of carbon dynamics in soils and sediments. They will also be=20 involved in the commercial operations of the Rafter Radiocarbon Laboratory. The ideal candidate will have =95 A post-graduate qualification in chemistry, biology or geology. =95 Post-graduate work experience in biogeochemistry of soils and/or=20 sediments. =95 Experience in establishing laboratory procedures for biomarker=20 extraction. =95 Preferably experience in radiocarbon/and or stable isotope=20 biogeochemistry. NANOELECTRONICS SCIENTIST The Nanoelectronics Scientist will be involved in the fabrication of Si- based nanostructures by ion implantation and electron beam annealing, field = emission measurements of novel Si-based structures and the analysis of=20 these structures by microscopy and AFM. They will also assist with planing, = execution and reporting of commercial nanotechnology and IBA projects. The ideal candidate will have =95 A post-graduate qualification in physics. =95 Some post-graduate work experience in solid-state physics. =95 Practical experience in field emission measurements and vacuum=20 electronics. =95 Experience in ion beam and/or electron physics would be beneficial. If you are a team player with a =93can do=94 attitude, have an interest in=20 Isotope Sciences, a good publications record and want to work for a=20 dynamic, progressive, multi-cultural organisation then GNS Science could be = the place for you.
