Phd Position Geochemistry

vor 3 Wochen


Bern, Schweiz Universität Bern Vollzeit

One PhD position is available in Isotope Geology at the Institute of Geological Sciences at the University of Bern.

This PhD project will focus on sublithospheric diamonds and ultradeep xenoliths from the Jagersfontein kimberlite, South Africa. Through constraining the nature and variation of compositions of this material - combined with the timing of formation/modification - a better understanding of processes in the sublithosphere and accretion to the base of the mantle keel will be developed. This SNF funded project will focus on water content analyses of majoritic garnets in diamonds and xenoliths, radiogenic and stable isotope analyses of inclusions in diamonds and ultradeep xenoliths, and a characterisation of the population of superdeep diamonds at Jagersfontein.

Tasks

The PhD will include conducting petrological descriptions, geochemical analyses, and data reduction, as well as interpreting data, writing up the results as papers for international journals and presenting at conferences.
