A postdoctoral position in hydrogeochemistry is available at the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies, ITER (Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain) with the start date as soon as possible. The appointment will be for 2 years period. The successful candidates will mainly conduct hydrogeochemistry research activities in oceanic volcanic islands as well as consult with and train foreign counterparts. We are looking for a motivated researcher with interest in experimental (lab and/or field) research related to salinization of coastal volcanic aquifers, magmatic-hydrothermal system/groundwater interaction, ground water dating and residence-time measurements in volcanic islands, and submarine ground water discharge. Documented experience of teamwork and/or participation into integrated multidisciplinary projects represents a plus in the selection process.
Qualified candidates must have a recent PhD in the Earth/Environmental Sciences, Physics, Chemistry, or a related field and should have a strong background in physical and chemical hydrology together with a solid publication record. The candidates will be expected to play a full role in the timely write-up and publication of the results, including participation in national and international conferences. Postdoctoral fellows will be expected to work closely with ITER (Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies) / INVOLCAN (Canary Islands Volcanological Institute) research staff and provide mentorship to undergraduate, M.Sc. and Ph.D. trainees.
Our Geochem Lab mantains a complete set of analytical instruments such as IC, GC, microGC, QMS, ICP-AES, ICP-MS and GC-MSMS for a variety of inorganic and organic chemical analysis as well as several mass spectrometric instruments such as (i) IRMS Thermo Finnigan MAT 253 coupled with Thermo TRACE GC ULTRA, Thermo FLASH 2000 EA and Thermo GASBENCH II for H, O, C and N isotopic ratios, (ii) Thermo Scientific HELIX SFT NGMS for noble gas isotopic ratios, (iii) Thermo Fisher iCAP Q ICP-MS for elemental and isotopic ratios, and (iv) a new Thermo Scientific Triton Plus multicollector TIMS for isotopic ratios, which will be installed by the end of this year.
Work experience in foreign countries, participation in international research projects and foreign language skills are also desirable. The position is based either at Tenerife, Canary Islands, SPAIN; however, routine travel to collaborate with colleagues is expected. Post-Doc annual salary will be within the range of 21.690 € and 28.900 € depending on qualifications. Applicants should supply (a) a curriculum vitae, including a list of publications, (b) a motivation letter including a statement of past achievement and future research interests and goals (maximum 2 pages) and (c) e-mail address of three references to: nperez@xxxxxxx
To receive full consideration, all materials must be received by December 20 2017.
Intended starting date is Febraury 1, 2018.Volcano Listserv is a collaborative venture among Arizona State University (ASU), Portland State University (PSU), the Global Volcanism Program (GVP) of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, and the International Association for Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI).
