We are delighted to announce the Emerging Investigators Series in Applied Geochemistry. The aim of this Series is to highlight excellent work by independent researchers in their early career that bring new insights into the field of geochemistry or to promote the geochemical applications. Multidisciplinary work related to applied geochemistry, biogeochemical processes, and environmental geochemistry are also highly welcomed. Featured articles as well as the authors as emerging investigators will be extensively advertised to diverse disciplines and communities through multiple platforms of the journal and the International Association of Geochemistry (IAGC). The selected Emerging Investigators will also be considered as candidates for the early career honors bestowed by IAGC and the editorial engagements with Applied Geochemistry.
Application
Applicants should complete their PhD (or equivalent degree) within the last 10 years, and have an independent career, to apply to the Emerging Investigators Series by contacting Editors-in-Chief, Michael Kersten and Zimeng Wang with the following information:
• Your up-to-date CV with full name, affiliation, contact information. The CV should be no longer than 3 pages and include the education and career, a (selected) list of publications, professional achievement, honors and awards, and a website of applicant's group if available.
