Job opening: Professor in Igneous Petrology, University of Geneva, Switzerland
From: Urs Schaltegger <Urs.Schaltegger@xxxxxxxx>
************************************************************************************************
The FACULTY OF SCIENCE has an opening for a
Professor in Igneous Petrology, University of Geneva, Switzerland
The Department of Mineralogy, Section of Earth and Environmental Sciences
(SSTE; http://www.unige.ch/sciences/terre), invites applications for a
professorial position (full, associate, or tenure track assistant). We seek
an outstanding scientist with a combination of proven success and a high
potential for future development. The successful candidate will be expected
to further develop a strong tradition in the petrology of shallow magmatic
systems. The person will join a lively scientific environment including
active research groups in Physical Volcanology and Fluid Dynamics,
Geochronology and Isotope Geochemistry, Ore Deposits, Geological Risks, and
Global Change. The candidate is expected to have a broad range of skills
that profit from the large diversity of available state-of-the-art
analytical and computational facilities, and combine the understanding of
the physics of magmatic processes with modeling and field investigations.
This position is part of a substantial renewal of the professorial staff of
the three Departments of the SSTE (five successions during 2011-2013).
Development of an ambitious research program, including the supervision of
M.Sc. and Ph.D. students, will be facilitated by reliable and generous
funding from national and local funding bodies. Masters-level teaching is
conducted in cooperation with the University of Lausanne (Ecole lémanique
des sciences de la Terre et de l¹environnement - ELSTE). Post-graduate
teaching is jointly organized and is supported by funded Doctoral Programs.
The ability to teach in French within 12 months after arrival is highly
desirable.
The Universities of Geneva and Lausanne provide access to diverse, shared
analytical facilities. These include a petrographic preparation facility,
secondary electron microscopy equipped for CL imaging and EBSD, X-ray
diffractometry, electron microprobe analysis, X-ray tomography, particle
characterisation, a fluid dynamics laboratory, Raman spectroscopy, fluid
inclusion analysis, major and trace element analyses by XRF, and major and
trace element analysis by solution ICP-OES and Q-ICP-MS, laser ablation Q-
and SF-ICP-MS, stable and radiogenic isotope analysis, and geochronology by
both solid state and noble gas mass spectrometry. A multicollector ICP-MS
laboratory and a SIMS facility will be established in 2012. Access to a
shared supercomputing facility between the universities of Geneva, Lausanne
and the federal technical university EPFL at Lausanne is possible.
The University of Geneva encourages women to apply for all positions. The
closing date for this position is March 31st, 2011 (preferred start is fall
semester, 2012). Please submit a curriculum vitae, a list of publications,
names of three references, a short research plan, and a copy of the
certificate of the highest obtained degree in the form of a single pdf or
doc file to gaelle.auge@xxxxxxxx, Décanat de la Faculté des Sciences,
Sciences III, University of Geneva, 30 quai Ernest-Ansermet, CH-1205 Genève.
Additional information concerning the job description and conditions of
employment may be obtained from the Director of the Department of Mineralogy
(urs.schaltegger@xxxxxxxx).
