PhD - Isotope geo and cosmochemistry

The Isotope Geochemistry Group at the Department of Earth Sciences
ETH Zurich, Switzerland 

Description

The PhD project includes geochemical and isotopic investigations to evaluate the processes in the early solar system that led to the formation of the earth's moon. The projects will involve the development of new analytical techniques to set up novel stable isotope systems. The review of applications will begin on 15 November until the position is filled. The PhD position will be offered for 3 years with a possible 1 year extension, starting within the next 6 months.
The project is suitable for students with a background in geology, chemistry, physics, planetary sciences or equivalent experience. The student will be trained in cutting-edge analytical work (incl. clean room chemistry and multi-collector ICP-MS) carried out at the state-of-the-art geochemical facilities at the ETH Zurich. These techniques have numerous applications across the range of analytical sciences.
