*Job Opportunity: Research Technician in Ecosystem Ecology and 
Biogeochemistry at Cornell University*

The Goodale lab at Cornell University seeks applicants for a research 
technician position. Lab research in ecosystem ecology and 
biogeochemistry examines how carbon, water, and nutrients - especially 
nitrogen - cycle through forest ecosystems, and how human activities 
affect forest carbon storage and retention of nitrogen. A field and lab 
technician is sought to support research on forest nitrogen cycling 
processes near Ithaca, NY and Hubbard Brook, NH. Responsibilities 
include but are not limited to collection and preparation of soil, 
plant, and water samples for stable isotope analyses; lab analyses of 
soil properties and microbial processes; operation and maintenance of 
major lab instruments; and coordination of undergraduate student 
assistance with these and related tasks.

*Qualifications*: Must possess excellent organizational skills and 
attention to detail, and must be responsible, personable, proactive, and 
able to multi-task and work with moderate supervision. Must be able to 
communicate effectively within a research team environment. Should have 
a good knowledge of major laboratory instruments (elemental analysis; 
ion chromatography; dissolved carbon analysis) and be willing to learn 
new laboratory skills, and must comply with safety protocols. Must have 
a working knowledge of standard computer spreadsheet and related 
programs. Should be able to lift 30-50 pounds, and conduct field work in 
rough terrain in a range of weather conditions. Must hold a valid 
driver’s license. Minimum qualifications consist of an Associate’s 
degree in biological science, environmental science, or a related field 
with 1-2 years’ experience; a B.S. with 2-4 years of related experience 
is strongly preferred.

*Position:* The position is classified as Technician III (Cornell Band 
C), full-time, with benefits. The appointment is for one year, starting 
as soon as possible, with extension possible depending on funds and 
satisfactory performance. See the Cornell Human Resources website for
