0214212CapoThis award provides three years of Phase I research laboratory technician support in the Department of Geology and Planetary Science Geochemistry Facility at the University of Pittsburgh. The University is providing 50% of the salary and fringe benefits for this position. The facilities comprise sample preparation, clean chemistry, and instrumentation laboratories. Major instruments include an inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES) and an NSF-funded multicollector thermal ionization mass spectrometer (TIMS). The research technician is responsible for day-to-day operation of the labs, maintenance of equipment, training of collaborators and students, and assistance with method development. In addition to facilitating hands-on class and outreach activities, this position will provide vital support for research projects focused on Quaternary soil development and paleoclimatology, modeling of weathering in watersheds, development of acid mine drainage, Precambrian paleoenvironments, and igneous geochemistry.***

该奖项为匹兹堡大学地质和行星科学地球化学系提供为期三年的第一阶段研究实验室技术人员支持。大学将提供这一职位工资和附带福利的50%。这些设施包括样品制备、清洁化学和仪器实验室。主要仪器包括电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱仪(ICPAES)和美国国家科学基金会资助的多收集器热电离质谱仪(TIMS)。研究技术员负责实验室的日常操作、设备维护、合作者和学生的培训以及方法开发方面的协助。除了促进实践课程和外联活动外，该职位还将为侧重于第四纪土壤发育和古气候学、流域风化模拟、酸性矿山排水开发、前寒武纪古环境和火成岩地球化学的研究项目提供重要支持。
