4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 From: "BettinaScheu.lmu" <bettinascheu.lmu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi all, Daniel Weidendorfer and I are recruiting for 2 fully funded PhD positions in (1) experimental petrology/geochemistry and (2) experimental volcanology/fluid-rock interaction under early Earth conditions. Both positions are located at LMU Munich, Germany, and are part of a large collaborative research grant (CRC392). See additional details below. The desired start date is Summer to early Fall 2024. Review of applications will start March 25 until the position is filled. Please forward this to anyone you know who might be interested. If you have questions, please donâ??t hesitate to reach out. Thanks! Betty & Daniel â??â??â??â??â?? The Geochemistry and Volcanology groups at LMU Munich specialize in igneous processes operating across the Earth lithosphere. *The Geochemistry group* has a strong background in the formation of CO2-rich magmatism, chemical melt differentiation and magma-rock interaction, which are investigated through high-pressure / high-temperature experimentation and computational petrology. *The Volcanology group* focusses on low- to high silica magma evolution and eruption styles, melt, magma as well as rock characterization, fluid-rock interaction and the effect of alteration in hydrothermal systems on petrophysical properties. Investigations comprise low- to high-pressure and temperature experiments, analytical and textural characterization as well as theoretical modelling. The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at LMU Munich invites applications for *two fully funded PhD positions* within the framework of the Collaborative Research Center (*CRC 392*) entitled â??*Molecular Evolution in Prebiotic Environments*â??. We seek for candidates who like to work in an interdisciplinary environment and look forward to linking geoscience to chemistry and biophysics. *PhD position (1) in Experimental Geochemistry/Petrology *is supervised by Prof. Daniel Weidendorfer* (*d.weidendorfer@xxxxxx) and focuses on prebiotic element enrichment in subvolcanic settings where active magmatism provides elements prominent for the emergence of life.
