Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Geochemical Exploration Undercover
Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Petrology & Volcanology (GMPV)
Hydrological Sciences (HS)
About the opportunity
As part of a highly motivated team of researchers within the Economic Geology Research Centre (EGRU) you will apply your geochemical expertise to an emerging area of isotope geochemistry. Groundwater isotope signatures have shown great promise for vectoring towards hidden ore deposits. As part of a specialized group of scientists within the IsoTropics Geochemistry Laboratory, you will undertake research focused on optimizing an automated chromatographic separation system to undertake transition metal isotope analyses in large volumes of groundwater.
Working in collaboration with Earth and Environmental Science and Engineering researchers and external partners, you will conduct research, develop and/or contribute to research publications as a member of a high performing team and ensure all key research outcomes and milestones are achieved in alignment with project timelines.
What you can bring to the role
You will have completed (or near completion) a PhD qualification or equivalent in Geochemistry, Geology or related discipline with demonstrated experience in the field of isotope geochemistry and a proven research publication track record. Previous experience undertaking solution-based geochemistry and mass spectrometry is highly sought after, e.g. non-conventional stable isotopes (Fe, Cu, Zn etc.) or radiogenic isotope systems (Sr, Nd, etc.).
