All of our system institutions place strong emphasis on service — helping to build healthier, more educated communities in South Carolina and beyond.
Advertised Job Summary
The postdoctoral associate will play a central role in an NSF -funded project focused on investigating nitrogen isotope fractionation(d¹5N) during ammonia (NH3) gas-to-particle conversion and oxidation processes. The associate will be responsible for conductinglaboratory experiments, analyzing isotope data, and integrating these findings into atmospheric models to enhance understanding of NH3 emissions, transformations, and their role in particulate matter (PM2.5) formation and reactive nitrogen cycling. Additionally, thepostdoc will prepare reports, manuscripts, and presentations to disseminate findings and will mentor graduate and undergraduate
students participating in the project. This position offers an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in atmospheric chemistryand isotope geochemistry.
