Postdoctoral researcher wanted: noble gases in
Martian met
Post-doctoral research
associate: water-rock interaction on Mars
The aim of the project is to
characterize the products of aqueous alteration in Martian meteorites
and, using state-of-art analytical techniques, determine the
composition and timing of fluid movement through the Martian crust.
This will be achieved by a combination of high-resolution petrography
of alteration mineral assemblages, fluid inclusion studies, 40Ar/39Ar
geochronology as well as noble gas and stable isotope
determinations.
The researcher will be
based at the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre but
will work closely with collaboraters at University of Glasgow and
Natural History Musem, London. The candidate should ideally possess knowledge and
laboratory experience of noble gas isotope geochemistry and/or high
resolution microscopy techniques.
It is a 36 month position,
starting on 1st September 2010 or as soon as possible
thereafter.
Informal enquiries to me
