The Faculty of Geoscience and Geography at the Georg-August University Göttingen invites applications for the position of Experimental Petrologist(A 13 salary level)The position is to be filled as soon as possible. The successful applicant must have a PhD in a relevant field of Earth Sciences. Furthermore, experience in a high pressure laboratory as well as in the modelling of petrogenetic processes on the basis of experiments is expected. The position is for 3 years, with the possibility on a 3 year extension. The ideal candidate should have a research record in experimental high-pressure research, especially with the piston-cylinder, applied to melt-crystal interaction or other current geochemical or petrological problems of the Earth's interior. The successful applicant is required to support and further develop the piston cylinder laboratory as well as perform their own experimental research; and take part in teaching at the Bachelor and Master level (4 hours) (e.g. magmatic petrology, polarisation microscopy). It is expected that the successful candidate will be able to acquire external research funding. At the time of appointment, proficiency in German is a plus but not a requirement. The University of Göttingen is well equipped with high pressure laboratories (hydrothermal, piston cylinder, internally-heated gas pressure vessels), gas mixing furnaces, preparation laboratories and a range of analytic equipment such as Raman, FT-IR, EMP, SEM, Excimer LA-ICPMS. The University of Göttingen is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to raising the proportion of women scientists in academic positions. Consequently, we actively encourage applications from suitably-qualified women. Women with the qualifications and disciplinary expertise required will be preferentially considered. We also welcome applications from candidates with severe disabilities who, with suitable qualifications, will be preferentially considered. Applications with a CV, including teaching experience and publication list, and a statement of past and future research interests, should be made to Prof. Dr. Sharon Webb, Mineralogy Department, GZG, Goldschmidtstr. 1, Georg-August-Universität, 37077, Göttingen by 24.3.2010.
