The Experimental Planetology Group at the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences invites applications for a 4-year PhD position focused on the geochemistry of Archean komatiites and their role in modulating the surface and atmosphere of the early Earth. The position is fully funded within the framework of the National Centre of Competence in Research NCCR Genesis, a research infrastructure project funded by SNSF that explores the emergence of life in the Universe. This interdisciplinary initiative brings together physicists, earth and planetary scientists, chemists and biologists to understand the conditions and mechanisms that enable life to emerge.

Tasks

  • Use state-of-the-art spectroscopic techniques to study the chemistry of a global selection of Archean komatiites.
  • Deducing the conditions under which komatiites were altered by interaction with the Earth’s surface environment over time.
  • Couple magnitudes and rates of reaction with models to determine the stability and nature of climatic states on the early Earth.
  • Fulfil laboratory and/or teaching duties as required.

Requirements

  • Hold a Master's degree (or will obtain one before the start date) in the broad domain of Earth and planetary sciences.
  • Specialisation in geochemistry, planetary atmospheres, chemical thermodynamics, mineralogy, or related disciplines.

Benefits

  • Remuneration conforms to the internal rate set by ETH Zürich for PhD students, starting at 53’500 CHF per annum.
  • A friendly, dynamic and interdisciplinary working environment based at ETH Zürich.
  • Collaboration with external partners at the universities of Bern, Cambridge, Harvard and IPGP.
  • An active community within NCCR Genesis working on origin of life problems.
  • ETH Zürich is ranked first in the world for Earth Sciences.
  • Inclusive culture promoting equality of opportunity, diversity, and respect for the rights and dignity of all staff and students.
  • Sustainability is a core value, with consistent efforts towards a climate-neutral future.
  • Equal access to professional development and support for all.
  • Strong encouragement for applications from under-represented groups.
