The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley has an opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Astrobiochemistry Lab. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research at the intersection of astrobiology, planetary science, and sedimentology.

Key Responsibilities:

• Investigate how biosignatures are affected by riverine dynamics in extraterrestrial environments, specifically targeting Titan and Mars.
• Determine alterations in chemical and morphological biosignatures due to riverine processes.
• Examine the influence of sedimentary deposition on biosignature preservation and detectability.
• Explore the spatial segregation of biosignatures across sedimentary basins to inform current and future space exploration missions.
• Conduct terrestrial analogy studies to support and validate extraterrestrial research findings.

Ideal start window: September 2024 – January 2025
