Job description

This is a fixed term 3-years postdoc position with a possible start after July 1st . 

The project will involve high-pressure and high temperature experimental work using a laser-heated or externally-heated diamond anvil cell combined with various laser spectroscopic methods (Raman, Brillouin scattering) and synchrotron X-rays to determine the physical properties of deep planetary materials.

The successful candidate is expected to perform high-pressure and high-temperature experimental research in collaboration with group members, to teach, and to undertake infrastructural tasks. 

The position will be based at the Institute of Geochemistry and Petrology, ETH Zurich (Prof. Motohiko Murakami).

Your profile

Applicants should have a doctoral degree in Earth Sciences (or related fields). High-pressure experimental skills using a laser-heated diamond anvil cell apparatus including the ability to develop the optical, spectroscopic, or infrared laser heating system are highly desirable.  Candidates who have obtained their PhD within the past two years are preferred . Candidates are expected to have an excellent academic record and be fluent in written and spoken English.
