*********************************************************************** Univ of Bristol Postdoc Position: evolution of the crust of Antarctica *********************************************************************** From: Philip Leat <PTLE@xxxxxxxxx> Postdoctoral position to study the evolution of the crust of Antarctica using Hf and O isotope measurements in zircon You will work in the Department of Earth Sciences as part of a project to investigate the age structure, origins and evolution of the Antarctic continent using in situ analyses of detrital and inherited zircons. The work will dominantly involve field work in Antarctica in December 2006-February 2007 with the British Antarctic Survey, and in situ analyses of zircon grains of Hf isotope ratios using multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass-spectrometry at the University of Bristol, and of U-Pb and O isotopes by ion-microprobe analyses at the University of Edinburgh. You will have an active track record in isotope ratio mass-spectrometry with a proven ability to produce manuscripts for high impact journals and skills to undertake independent geological field work. Experience in multi-collector inductively coupled mass-spectrometry and in situ analysis and a good knowledge of the processes of crust generation and evolution would be highly advantageous. You will need to be physically capable and medically fit to work in Antarctica. If successful, you may be appointed either on a fixed term or a permanent contract depending on the extent of your previous relevant research experience.
