Post Doctoral Fellow
State of South Carolina
University of South Carolina
Job Description
Summary
This job is for a postdoctoral researcher at the University of South Carolina working on a project that studies how nitrogen in ammonia gas turns into tiny particles in the air and affects the environment.
The role involves running lab tests, analyzing data, building computer models, and sharing results through reports and talks, while also guiding students.
It's ideal for someone fresh from a PhD in chemistry or related fields who loves hands-on science and teamwork in atmospheric research.
Key Requirements
- Ph.D. in Chemistry, Atmospheric Sciences, Environmental Chemistry, or related field by start date
- Demonstrated expertise in atmospheric chemistry, preferably from doctoral research
- Hands-on experience in laboratory experiments and isotope data analysis
- Proficiency in conducting and interpreting isotope fractionation experiments
- Experience integrating data into atmospheric models
- Track record of publications in atmospheric chemistry or related fields
- Strong skills in writing reports, manuscripts, and delivering presentations

About UofSC
From the Upstate to the Lowcountry, the University of South Carolina system is transforming the lives of South Carolinians through the impact of our eight institutions and 20 locations throughout the state. More than 50,000 students are enrolled at one of eight institutions, including the research campus in Columbia and comprehensive four-year universities in Aiken, Upstate and Beaufort. In addition, our Palmetto College campuses in Salkehatchie, Union, Lancaster and Sumter enable students to earn associate or bachelor’s degrees through a combination of in-person, online or blended learning. 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.
Required Education and Experience
Preferred Qualifications
• Requires a Doctoral (Ph.D.) degree in Chemistry, Atmospheric Sciences, Environmental Chemistry, or a related field by the start date of employment, with demonstrated expertise in Atmospheric Chemistry.
