From: Margaret Hartley <margaret.hartley@manchester.
Subject: 3-year post-doc in noble gas geochemistry at the University of Manchester, UK
******************************
Dear all,
Applications are invited for a post-doctoral research associate (PDRA) in noble gas geochemistry, to work within the Isotope Geochemistry research group in the School of Earth & Environmental Sciences, University of Manchester.
The
PDRA will work on the project “How did primordial and recycled
geochemical
signatures come to coexist in the Earth's deep mantle?” funded by the
UK Natural Environment Research Council. They will be supervised by Dr
Margaret Hartley
(margaret.hartley@manchester.a
The project focuses on the isotopic and volatile compositions of subglacially erupted basalts from Iceland, with a view to establishing the characteristic geochemical signatures and spatial distribution of primordial and recycled reservoirs in the Icelandic mantle source. The PDRA will be involved in the analysis of noble gas isotopes (with particular focus on the heavy noble gases Kr and Xe) and halogens (F, Cl, Br, I) in subglacially erupted basalts from Iceland. They will develop new procedures for high-precision analysis of heavy noble gases using the state-of-the-art HELIX mass spectrometer. Previous experience of isotope geochemistry and mass spectrometry techniques, and statistical analysis of large geochemical datasets, is essential. Experience in any or all of the following would be an advantage: electron microprobe analysis, secondary ion mass spectrometry, noble gas geochemistry, numerical modelling, field work. The successful candidate will have demonstrated the capacity to perform independent research to the highest standard, and strong communication, team-working and interpersonal skills.
Duration: 3 years, fixed term
Start date: 16 January 2017 (some flexibility is possible)
Closing date for applications: 23 November 2016
Interviews: Week commencing 5 December 2016
