Postdoctoral Fellow in Zircon Isotope Geochemistry

The laboratory of Dr. Nadja Drabon at Harvard University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow position to investigate early crust formation and evolution using Hadean to Paleoarchean zircons from the Green Sandstone Bed in the Barberton Greenstone Belt, South Africa. The project focuses on Hf and Si isotope analyses of zircon, supported by complementary geochemical data, to understand processes responsible for early felsic crust formation and Earth’s earliest crust evolution. The successful candidate will contribute to a collaborative research program, develop expertise in isotope geochemistry, and participate in publications and conference presentations. The initial appointment is for one year with potential annual renewal up to five years.
