POST DOC IN EXPERIMENTAL PETROLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF TROMSŲ, NORWAY.
At University of Tromsų, Norway, there is a vacant post doc position in
experimental petrology. The position is attached to the Department of
Geology at the Faculty of Science, and is restricted to female applicants.
The appointment for a post doc position is for a term of 3 years.
Appointments in a post doc position at Norwegian universities and colleges
are meant to qualify for permanent positions as professor. For a post doc
position a Norwegian doctor's degree or equivalent is required.
The Faculty consists of the departments of Biology, Chemistry, Computer
Science, Geology, Mathematics/Statistics, and Physics.
The Department of Geology have 11 faculty members, 4 post doc/researchers,
9 research fellows and a technical/administrative staff of 8. The
department is located on the periphery of the Main University Campus.
The research activity in the Department of Geology is within hard rock
geology (petrology and structural geology), marine geology and geophysics,
and sedimentology/quartenary geology. The department is equipped with
modern research facilities.
The vacant position is attached to the research group in hard rock geology,
which has 4 faculty members. This group is responsible for teaching courses
at lower as well as higher levels. The research is mainly focussed on
experimental petrology, Precambrian and Caledonian tectonic and petrologic
evolution in Troms and western Norway, and tectonic evolution of the
continental shelf off northern Norway and Svalbard.
Much of the research activity is centered about a laboratory in
experimental petrology. The laboratory houses three end-loaded piston
cylinder apparatuses (two 'small' table mounted apparatuses and one large
apparatus) and a 1-atmosphere Deltech furnace. The piston cylinders can
maintain a pressure of at least 35 kbar and in the large press we have
reached a temperature of 2000 0C. Temperature is controlled by Eurotherm
808 and 2408 regulators, while the pressure is monitored by digital gauges.
Temperature and pressure readings are transferred to a PC and the operator
can check the experiments from anywhere. The 1-atmosphere furnace has
attached to it a gas-mixing module for controlling fO2. The laboratory is
equipped with all facilities necessary for pre and post preparation of
cells and samples (lathe, low-speed saw, welder, polisher etc).
Experimental run products are examined and analyzed on the JEOL 6200 SEM at
the University of Tromsų. We will soon also have on-line access to a new
Cameca SX100 EMP located at the University of Oslo.
Our research philosophy is to reproduce natural mineral assemblages in the
laboratory based on observations in natural rocks. Main focuses for our
research have been on partial melting and subsolidus-relations in deep
crustal rocks.
The vacant position is attached to the experimental petrology laboratory.
Hundred per cent of the working time should be devoted to research,
research-related activities and research administration.
The applicant should include a project description and a progress plan for
the project that she wishes to carry out during the three-year contract,
including name(s) of professional counselor(s).
For a post doc position a Norwegian doctor's degree or equivalent is
required. The applicant should be able to document skills in magmatic
and/or metamorphic petrology.
A post doc is paid according to the Norwegian State salary scale, code
1352. 2% of the gross salary is deducted for the compulsory state pension
scheme.
A committee will judge the qualifications of the applicants. The main
emphasis will be on the publications sent in by the applicant. Information
and material to be taken into account in the evaluation must be submitted
by the application limit. Names of references may be given.
The University of Tromsų wishes to recruit women for research. This
position is restricted to female applicants.
The applicants must send in a list in five copies of all her scientific
papers saying whether they have been published or not, and if yes where
they have been published.
The application, including the curriculum vitae, testimonials,
certificates, and the list of publications should be sent in 5 copies to:
THE UNIVERSITY OF TROMSŲ
N-9037 TROMSŲ
NORWAY
Publications. The applicant may submit up to 10 papers (published or
non-published) central to her production. In this context a doctoral
thesis is counted as one publication. The publications must be submitted
in three copies sorted in three complete sets. In addition, she should
submit one set of further publications. The applicant will give a
description of his scientific production pointing out which publications
she considers most important and therefore should be central in the
evaluation. Further, she should give a short description of the rest of her
production to show the breadth of her work. These publications and
descriptions should be posted by the application deadline to:
UNIVERSITY OF TROMSŲ
DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY
N-9037 TROMSŲ
NORWAY
In case of discrepancies between the Norwegian and English version of this
description, the Norwegian one takes precedence.
Other information is to be found in the complete regulations for faculty
positions at the University. (These are available in Norwegian only).
