Departmental/Institutional Positions
Laboratory Assistant – Geochemical Oceanography
Laboratory assistants sought for the Laboratory of Geochemical Oceanography. Tasks include general laboratory operations support and sample preparation. Current experiments focus on measuring magnesium isotope variations in natural samples to better understand the cycling of magnesium in modern and ancient oceans. Assistants will be trained; no previous experience necessary. At least 10 hours per week, $10/hour.
If interested, please contact John Higgins at jhiggins@fas.harvard.edu
Museum Assistant - Geological Museum
An "army" of museum assistants is needed to electronically catalogue and photograph our extensive geological collections.
Assistant would work at least 6-10 hours a week, $10/hour, work-study preferred.
If interested, please contact Carl Francis
(cfrancis@fas.harvard.edu).
Research Assistant- Seismology Laboratory
Possible projects include comparison of geology and seismic data in
Japan, and search for continents/oceans in the Earth's deep
interior. Assistant should be an enthusiastic student with interest
in Earth, data analysis, and computer programming. Previous computer
programming experience would be desirable, but not necessary. Assistant will work at least 6 hours per week, $10/hour.
If interested, please contact Professor Miaki Ishii at ishii@eps.harvard.edu, 617-384-8066.
Research Assistant- Langmuir Group
Reasearch Assistant needed for sample preparation and geochemical analysis of
rocks from young volcanoes at ocean ridges and island arc regions. Sample
preparation includes preparation of rock powders and necessary containers,
chemical dissolution in an ultra-clean lab, and, if there is time and interest,
geochemical analysis using ICP_MS mass spectrometer and direct current plasma
optical spectrometer. Rocks from the Gakkel Ridge in the Arctic and Lau Basin
in the south Pacific are the focus of the work. Assistantt would work at least 5-10 hours per week, $10/hour; work-study preferred.
If interested, please contact Professor Charles Langmuir at langmuir@eps.harvard.edu, 617-384-9948, or his assistant, Rady Rogers at rady@eps.harvard.edu, 617-496-7504.
Laboratory assistants sought for the Noble Gas Laboratory. Tasks include general laboratory operations support and sample preparation. Current experiments focus on understanding the composition of comets, the glacial history of Antarctica, understanding the timescales of climatic and biotic changes associated with the K-T impact. Assistants will be trained; no previous experience necessary.
Hours: at least 6 hours per week
