Due to retirement a post is available in the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit for a technician or engineer with experience of mass spectrometry or a related field. As part of a very large investment program, a new AMS is also to be commissioned in 2001 and the new technician is expected to be involved in all aspects of this development, from installation to final testing. Experience with vacuum equipment, mass spectrometers and electrical work would all be an advantage. The post will be filled as soon as possible. The appointment will be for one year in the first instance but with a good chance of extension.
Further particulars are available below .
The closing date for applications is Friday 15th June. A post is available in the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit for a technician with chemistry, biochemistry or molecular biology training. The primary duties will be the extraction of organic components from archaeological and geological samples for radiocarbon dating. This requires an ability to work methodically and accurately, and to work as part of a team. There is also likely to be some involvement with research projects.
