Jeffrey Post was born on July 1, 1954 in Madison, Wisconsin, United States, into the family of Edward J. and Wanda (Esser) Post.
Dr. Jeffrey Edward Post received his Bachelor of Science degrees in geology and chemistry from the University of Wisconsin - Platteville, and his Ph.D. in chemistry, with a specialty in geochemistry, from Arizona State University.
Prior to joining the Department of Mineral Sciences at the Smithsonian Institution in 1984, Jeffrey Edward Post had been a Postdoctoral Research Fellow for three years in the Department of Geological Sciences at Harvard University. He is currently Chairman of the Department of Mineral Sciences, and since 1991 has served as Curator of the U.S. National Gem and Mineral Collection.
Dr. Post served as the lead curator for the Janet Annenberg Hooker Hall of Geology, Gems and Minerals that opened in 1997. His areas of research include mineralogy, gemology, geochemistry, crystallography, and electron microscopy. He has published more than 100 scientific articles in these fields. He is the author of The National Gem Collection.
Jeffrey Post Post introduced special collections of the National Gem and Mineral Collection, focusing on the structure and morphology of manganese oxide minerals in nature, structural differences between manganese oxide minerals in the environment and manganese oxide synthesized in labs, the structure and morphology of biological manganese oxide in the environment, and structural characteristics of layer-structured manganese oxide such as birnessite and tunnel-structured manganese oxide such as todorokite, reflected by characterization techniques such as XRD, XPS, FTIR, XAFS, Raman.

1997Quotations: "My Mother said I picked up rocks, even as a toddler, but I was hooked when my 4th grade teacher showed me a large quartz crystal. I had never seen anything like it, and I was fascinated. I knew then that I wanted to study minerals and crystals."
Post is a member of the American Mineral Society.
Jeffrey Post married Ann Kirking in 1985. They have two daughters - Alison and Marissa.
