PhD-research fellowship, high-pressure
experimental mineralogy and petrology
Collaborative project, Oslo and Bristol
The Centre for Earth Evolution and Dynamics at the University of Oslo has a vacant PhD Research Fellowship in high-pressure experimental mineralogy and petrology. We seek candidates for an experimental project to determine the melting phase relations in 2-5-component systems, relevant to the deep silicate Earth, using the laser-heated diamond anvil cell (LH-DAC). The experimental work will be carried out in the LH-DAC-laboratory in Bristol. The quenched run products will be extracted and prepared by ion-slicer or FIB, before analysis by field-emission EMPA and/or analytical TEM. The melting phase relations will be used to develop thermodynamic models for melting throughout the Earth's mantle. Such data are important for the understanding of the early Earth evolution and differentiation, possibly leading to major compositional heterogeneity in the mantle.
A candidate must have completed a MSc or 4-year Honours BSc degree by June/July. A solid background in mineralogy, petrology and geochemistry and a strong motivation to contribute to our understanding of high pressure melting relations and early Earth evolution is essential.
