PhD Scholarship in Geobiosphere Sciences at Lund University

• Type of employment: Limit of tenure, 1 year
• Extent: 100 %
• Location: Department of Earth and Ecosystem Sciences (Geology Unit), Lund
• First day of employment: 2011-07-01
• Official Records Number: NPA 2011/143

Job assignments
Phd scholarship in GeoBiosphere Sciences, Geology at Lund University, Sweden We have an opening for a Phd scholarship for a highly motivated person to join our research on a high-grade metamorphic section of the Sveconorwegian orogen. It is the Scandinavian equivalent to the Grenville orogen, and the result of collision tectonics at around 1 Ga ago during the assembly of supercontinent Rodinia. The project area in SW Sweden exposes a window into one of the deepest buried and most ductile parts of this mountain chain. The high-grade deformational and metamorphic processes are considered to be of major importance in the evolution and structural build-up of the orogen.

The PhD project focusses on Structural Geology and Metamorphic Petrology and is entitled “High pressure and temperature deformation and metamorphism in the eclogite – granulite region of SW Sweden.” Research involves characterization of the tectonostratigraphy and P-T-t-d evolution, linking of metamorphism and kinematics in deformation zones, and development of a structural model for the area, in particular for the distribution of eclogites.

Eligibility/Entry Requirements
The applicant must hold a university degree (MSc/BSc or equivalent) in Earth Sciences at the time of appointment. A strong background in petrology is expected. Fluent spoken and written English is required. The scholarship require ability to do fieldwork in a boreal landscape. Ability and willingness to travel to conferences, fieldtrips and workshops and analytical work (mainly Sweden and Canada) is essential; so is participation as a teaching assistant in the Geology Programme at Lund University.

Basis of Assessment
Specific requirements:

• A strong background in metamorphic petrology and petrography.
• Experience in structural mapping and structural analysis.

Documented experience in any of the following fields is an asset:

• Scientific writing and oral presentation
• Scanning electron microscopy SEM
• Microprobe analysis, EDS/WDS/SIMS
• Phase equilibria and P-T estimation
• Geochronology, in particular the U-Pb-system
• Field geology of high-grade gneiss terrains

Please give details in your CV.

Additional Information
Applications for this position should include:

• A one-page covering letter with statements about the applicant`s background and ambitions in relation to the project
• CV with general personal information, details of previous studies and work
• A pdf-file (or link for download) of any relevant publication, MSc- and/or BSc-thesis
• Names and addresses of at least two reference persons.
