Opportunities

If you are interested in studying Earth History, Isotope Geochemistry and/or Geobiology at Harvard, or find a particular aspect of our work interesting, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We are always looking for motivated and interested parties.

Graduate students (through the Department of Earth and Planetary Science), undergraduates, and post-docs are all welcome. We are particularly looking for graduate students in the upcoming application cycle who:

1. seek to interrogate modern microbial metabolisms in an effort to calibrate physiological responses to changing environmental conditions (with specific attention to the oxygen cycle), and

2. are interested in studying Earth history or modern environments (ocean + atmosphere) with novel isotopic systems.

As a lab, we encourage individuals from underrepresented groups to reach out. We strive for a fully inclusive and supported work environment and welcome all that are interested in these scientific pursuits.

Interested students are encouraged to contact Professor Johnston directly.
