The Department of Earth Sciences of the University of Geneva, Switzerland, invites applications for a Postdoctoral (for candidates within 5 years from the end of their PhD) or senior researcher position in geological fluid dynamics. The initial appointment will be for two years with possible extension.
Applicants must have a PhD in Earth Sciences, Fluid mechanics engineering, Physics or a related field at the time of appointment, as well as a significant record and/or promise of interdisciplinary research productivity. Suitable research backgrounds may include any combination of fluid dynamics, volcanology, experimental sedimentology, physics and experimental engineering. Evidence of strong mathematical/numerical skills is essential and experience in fluid-dynamics laboratory experiments is recommended. Documented experience of teamwork and/or participation into integrated multidisciplinary projects represents a plus in the selection process.
The successful candidate will be involved in various projects for the study of volcanic processes with a particular focus on plume dynamics and sedimentation of volcanic particles. He/she will be responsible for the day-to-day support and running of the lab and will also be involved in the supervision of MSc and PhD research projects. As a result, he/she will play a fundamental role within the research group of Prof. Costanza Bonadonna.
