Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
Postdoctoral position at IPG Paris in Computatio ... (No replies)
Back to General announcements...
We have an opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow to work in computational mineralogy, studying the chemical behavior of silicate and metal solids and melts. We are specifically interested in candidates with previous experience or interested in studying the solidification and the differentiation dynamics of silicate magma oceans and their impact on the subsequent solid-state, long-term, thermo-chemical evolution of Earth and other planetary mantles. The successful candidate will work on element partitioning from ab initio molecular dynamics simulations coupled with thermodynamic integration.
The position is funded by a European Research Council advanced grant on the multidisciplinary study of the Solidification of Earth’s Primitive Mantle (SEPtiM). The SEPtiM project combines high-pressure and high-temperature experimental petrology, thermodynamic modeling, ab initio theoretical calculations, and geodynamic numerical modeling. The position is purely computational.
The successful candidate should have:
Additionally, preference will be awarded to candidates who have:
The position is for two years, with the possibility of an extension. The package must include a CV, names of references, and a motivation letter. The ideal start date is September 2023, with some flexibility to start earlier or later.
The successful candidate will be hosted at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (IPGP), in Paris, France. IPGP is a world-renowned geosciences research institute founded in 1921, associated with the CNRS, a component of the Université Paris Cité and employing more than 500 people.
We offer a competitive salary and benefits package and the opportunity to work in a stimulating and supportive research environment.
