CHAIR OF EXPERIMENTAL PETROLOGY AND GEOCHEMISTRY

In order to fill a fixed-term position in full-time (39.83 hours/week = 100%) at the earliest possible date, we are looking for 1

RESEARCH ASSOCIATE (M/F/X) FOR 3 YEARS WITH 39.83 HOURS/WEEK (100%, TV-L E13)

The Experimental Petrology and Geochemistry Group at the Institute of Geosciences (IFG) at Ruhr University Bochum focuses on experimentally investigating high-temperature magmatic processes at the planetary scale. By combining experimental, geochemical, and numerical methods, we study processes ranging from core formation and magma ocean crystallization to mantle melting and melt/fluid migration at the micron scale. You can find more about our workgroup here. Our group also contributes to teaching in the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degree programs in Petrology, Geochemistry, and Mineralogy.
We are looking for a talented candidate to join our team and work on the development and application of novel experimental techniques in magmatic petrology and geochemistry, with a strong research focus.
