The complete details about this position and instructions for applying are available at the JPL Careers website: https://tinyurl.com/JPL-NAIF-Engineer 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 CALTECH/JPL POSTDOC IN STABLE ISOTOPE GEOCHEMISTRY Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in clumped isotope geochemistry within Caltech's Division of Geological & Planetary Sciences. The successful applicant will work with Professor John Eiler and Dr. Amy Hofmann (JPL) on the collection and interpretation of clumped isotope signatures in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from different classes of carbonaceous meteorites. Applicants for this position must have a PhD in geochemistry, organic geochemistry, isotope geochemistry, organic chemistry, or equivalent by the time of the appointment. Additional required qualifications include significant organic chemistry 'wet lab' experience and a working knowledge of the principles of stable isotope geochemistry. The selected candidate is expected to begin as soon as possible. The initial duration of the position is one year. The full advertisement (with additional details regarding job responsibilities and application requirements) can be found here: https://tinyurl.com/Caltech-postdoc Questions regarding the position should be directed to Dr. Amy Hofmann, amy.e.hofmann@jpl.nasa.gov 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER AT CU BOULDER/LASP The Exploration of Planetary Ices and Climates (EPIC) group at the University of Colorado's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) seeks a postdoctoral researcher (RS-I, i.e., within ~3 years of Ph.D.) in planetary science. Research in the EPIC group encompasses theoretical and observational studies of the surfaces and atmospheres of planets, natural satellites, and small bodies. The successful candidate will collaborate with EPIC group members on currently funded projects and seek to develop an independent research program. A focus of this position will include investigations using data from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and the Dawn at Ceres mission to address fundamental questions about ice on airless bodies.

Undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs, and early career scientists are invited to join us for a discussion of how to prepare for a career in mission science. The virtual event will feature a panel of mentors and mission scientists representing active and upcoming planetary missions, including Curiosity and Perseverance, Dragonfly, and DART. Panelists will share their backgrounds, experiences, and recommendations. Participants will be encouraged to ask questions and make connections with mission scientists. We will describe planetary missions, discuss mission science careers, and highlight relevant opportunities for students and early career scientists. The next event will be a 90-minute virtual seminar on Tuesday, July 19, at 3 p.m. EDT / 2 p.m. CDT / 1 p.m. MDT / 12 p.m. PDT.
