Duties and
Responsibilities
Applications are invited for a post doctoral research
associate position. The successful applicant will work with strong and vibrant
groups within the departments of Earth Sciences and Chemistry in UCL.
The project aims to determine the water content of the
Earth's mantle through concurrent electrical conductivity and infra-red
absorption spectroscopy measurements of silicate minerals at high pressures and
temperatures in the diamond anvil cell. The observed dependence of
electricla conductivity on water content will be used in inversions of the
observed geomagnetic response function to constrain water content in the upper
mantle and transition zone. The position is for the experimental
component of the project.
The post is funded by NERC for three years in the first
instance.
Key Requirements
Applicants will have a PhD, or thesis submitted
and subject to examination, in the Earth sciences, phyiscs or a related
