The goals of the project are to explore how microbes survive and thrive in a warm, high pH serpentinization system, to investigate the fate of deep sea organic matter as it passes through the rocky subsurface, and to determine whether small organic molecules are formed abiotically. This research has implications for the earliest development of life on Earth and other planets, and on Earth\u2019s carbon cycle. Field work includes a 22-day oceanographic expedition with the remotely operated vehicle Jason to the Lost City Hydrothermal Field. Stipend and tuition support are available for the length of the project in a combination of research and teaching assistantships. We are looking for a motivated, curious, problem-solver who enjoys being in the lab and field. A background in chemistry and\/or isotopes, HPLC, GC, or IC is particularly welcome.\u00a0<span class=\"s1\">For additional information, please visit our website (<a href=\"https:\/\/urldefense.proofpoint.com\/v2\/url?u=http-3A__www.seoe.sc.edu_lang-2Dlab&amp;d=DwMFaQ&amp;c=clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&amp;r=uptGqTlSQ4O53p0sAR06Qg&amp;m=6-2P2UewoeBzpbNb1rvTbjXFPxtxCwRILgn1n5RQsVY&amp;s=_BLx4DVLqYadEf37BL1MRGAY_0QQfo1Njgdjl_GDHwY&amp;e=\"><span class=\"s2\">http:\/\/www.seoe.sc.edu\/lang-lab<\/span><\/a>).
