Anat Shahar, a staff scientist at the Geophysical Laboratory, and Steve Shirey, a staff scientist at DTM, will lead a workshop* titled "Pre & On-Campus Interviews" at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, May 17, 2017, in the Abelson Collaboration Center as part of DTM's Postdoctoral Development Workshop series.

Shahar received her Ph.D. in geochemistry from the University of California Los Angeles in 2008. The goal of her research is to understand the mechanisms responsible for stable isotope fractionation. She is particularly interested in how pressure and temperature affect the isotopic ratios of materials during planetary formation, differentiation, and evolution.

Shirey received his Ph.D. in geochemistry from the State University of New York, Stony Brook, in 1984. He is interested in how Earth's continents formed. The study of continents from the deepest samples also led to his recent interest in diamonds.

Coffee, tea, and snacks will be served before the workshop at 10:30 a.m.

*This workshop is open to Carnegie personnel only.
