many thanks
Lucie Tajcmanova
PhD Position in Petrology at the ETH Zurich
We are pleased to advertise a PhD project described below. The project is fully funded within the ETH grant “Experimental prediction and thermodynamic modelling of nonhydrostatic phase transitions in solids”. Further enquiries about the position as well as applications should be addressed directly to Prof. Lucie Tajcmanova
The application should contain a cover letter with your motivation and CV (containing a complete overview of education, supervised professional training and professional work) + publications (if applicable). Please send the application only via email indicated above.
Qualified individuals need to have a MSc-degree in Geosciences at the time of appointment. The appointment will be for a period of 3 years and is available from September 2015. The advertisement remains open until the position is filled.
The successful candidate will undertake an experimental, analytical and thermodynamic modelling based study focused on understanding the effect of pressure variations on phase transition.
We are seeking a highly motivated candidate with background in geology and metamorphic petrology. Preference will be given to a candidate with documented previous experience in experiments or thermodynamic and/or numerical modelling or to a candidate who shows his/her motivation to learn it. Good knowledge of math, physics and chemistry is an advantage.
As a PhD candidate you will be working with a team of world-class researchers at the ETH Zurich as well as will work in close collaboration with the University of Lausanne (UNIL).
