Jobbeschreibung

Home PhD Doctoral Associate in Experimental Geochemistry, University of Münster, Germany

Doctoral Associate in Experimental Geochemistry: The University of Münster is seeking a committed and motivated individual for a fully funded part-time doctoral research associate position in experimental geochemistry. This research project focuses on the role of aqueous fluids in the mobilization and transfer of organic and inorganic carbon in subduction zones.

Details

Research Area: Experimental Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Fluid Geochemistry and Thermodynamics

Location: Institute of Mineralogy, Faculty of Geosciences, University of Münster, Germany

Eligibility/Qualification

1. Master’s degree or equivalent in Earth sciences, physics, chemistry, or related fields
2. Strong background in mineralogy, fluid geochemistry, and thermodynamics
3. Preferred experience with diamond anvil cell techniques and/or Raman spectroscopy
4. Excellent English skills (written and spoken), good computational skills, and availability for travel
5. German language skills are advantageous but not required

Description

The position is tied to a DFG-funded PhD project that investigates the mobilization and transfer mechanisms of carbon in subduction zones using advanced experimental techniques. The selected candidate will conduct in situ hydrothermal diamond anvil cell experiments combined with Raman spectroscopy, alongside thermodynamic modeling. The project will have a collaborative aspect, with planned secondments in Perugia, Italy, in partnership with Dr. Carla Tiraboschi.

How to Apply

Interested candidates should send a single PDF application to Prof. Carmen Sanchez-Valle at [e-mail]. The application should include the following:

• A short statement of research experience and interests
• Curriculum Vitae including a list of publications
• Names and contact information of three potential referees

Last Date to Apply: Applications must be submitted by December 16, 2024.

The University of Münster is committed to equal opportunity and diversity. Women with equivalent qualifications will be preferentially considered.
