computational modeling linked to laboratory anal-
yses and experimentation. The candidate will bring
broad industry knowledge of organic and inorganic
geochemistry applications ranging from nano- to
basin scale, providing technical leadership for inte-
grated research including diagenesis, hydrocarbon
systems evaluation and source-rock analysis. The
candidate will be expected to work with laboratory
with support staff in the use of analytical equipment
