3 year PhD position:
"Pre-eruptive conditions of volcanic rocks from Snake River Plain, Yellowstone Hotspot"
A 3-year PhD position in experimental petrology/geochemistry is open at the Institute for Mineralogy, Leibniz University Hannover.
The aim of the research will be the experimental simulation and interpretation of magma formation, storage and differentiation
processes related to the bimodal magmatism of the Snake River Plain – Yellowstone hotspot track. The experimental expertise at the
Institute for Mineralogy with high pressure – high temperature techniques will be combined with analytical work (e.g. microprobe, infrared spectroscopy).
Precondition for the application is a diploma, master or equivalent certificate in geosciences. We are looking for a person with a strong commitment to research,
a solid background in (geo)chemistry and/or geosciences, and experience in laboratory and analytical work.
Very good language skills in English are required for Non-German applicants.
The PhD student will work in the research group at Experimental Lab of Institut for Mineralogie, and will be integrated in national and international
collaborative research efforts. The position is funded within the framework of International Continental Drilling Program (ICDP) by German Science Foundation (DFG).
Payment is ? E13 of the collective labor agreement of the German States (TvL). The review process will proceed until the position is filled.
As an equal opportunity employer, the Leibniz Universitat Hannover strongly encourages women to apply. Equally qualified disabled applicants will be given preference.
