Hello everybody,
Please spread around the following posting to potential candidates,
either PhD students or possibly as a Post-Doc!
Thanks, Thomas

PhD or Postdoc research in Switzerland
Hydrothermal Geochemistry
Magmatic-hydrothermal Ore Deposits
Laser-Ablation ICP Mass Spectrometry
The Fluids and Ore Deposits Group at ETH Zürich (Switzerland) has
immediate funding for a PhD or Postdoctoral research project on
magmatic-hydrothermal processes, involving the application and further
development of LA-ICPMS micro-analysis to fluid and melt inclusions in
minerals. We are looking for a geoscientist with an interest in
petrology, geochemistry or economic geology and some experience in
analytical techniques.
Our research aims at understanding and quantifying the fundamental
processes of metal and volatile transport from magma chambers to
porphyry-style and epithermal ore deposits, which is relevant to
resource geology as well as volcanology. Key processes include the
physical and chemical interactions between silicate melts, saline
brines, low-density vapour fluids and precipitating minerals. To explore
these, we are combining quantitative field geology, the development of
new isotopic and microanalytical techniques, and advanced
computer-simulation of fluid-transport processes.
This project will combine field work in collaboration with colleagues in
Romania (the Apuseni Mountains Cu-Au-Te province), and microanalysis of
fluid and melt using the latest instrumentation of Excimer Laser
Ablation in conjunction with Dynamic Reaction Cell ICP-MS. The ideal
candidate will be a versatile geoscientist with at least an MSc or
equivalent degree, who would like to develop his interest in new
geochemical lab techniques with a novel application to ore-deposit
geology and petrology. However, we will also consider applications from
geochemists interested mainly in the analytical side. We offer a lively
international teaching and research environment with outstanding lab
facilities, in one of Europe?s largest Earth Science departments. The
PhD scholarship is 1800-2000 SFr per month (after deductions), and PhD
programmes at ETH normally take about three years. Postdoc salaries are
about twice this amount.
The position is available immediately. For additional information,
please have a look at www.erdw.ethz.ch/institutes/iimr/iimr.html or
contact Prof. Chris Heinrich (ph. +41 ? 1 ? 632 6851, heinrich@
erdw.ethz.ch). Apply as soon as possible by sending your CV, letters of
recommendation or reference contacts, and a short statement of your
research and career plans by e-mail to [log in to unmask] Evaluation
of applications are in progress now, and will continue until the
position is filled.
