2 PhD positions in Experimental Petrology, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Dear colleagues, We invite applications for 2 PhD positions in experimental petrology / volcanology supervised by Prof. Peter Ulmer and Dr. Ben Ellis at the Institute of Geochemistry and Petrology at ETH Zurich (https://www.erdw.ethz.ch/en/). We are searching for two highly motivated students to join our Magmatic Petrology group at ETH working on a project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. The two PhD position titles are: 1) Li element and isotope partitioning and diffusion between solid, liquid and fluid in silicic magmatic system, and 2) Cannibalisation of gabbroic cumulates by intermediate composition melts in arc magmas: A field, geochemical and experimental study The length of the appointments will be up to 4 years, starting in Summer/Fall 2019. Candidates should hold a M.Sc. degree with a strong background in geochemistry and/or geology. Experience in analytical techniques (EPMA, LA-ICPMS, FTIR, SIMS) or experimental petrology would be advantageous. Interested candidates should send their applications, specifying which project they are applying for to Peter Ulmer (peter.ulmer@erdw.ethz.ch<mailto:peter.ulmer@erdw.ethz.ch>) and Ben Ellis (ben.ellis@erdw.ethz.ch<mailto:ben.ellis@erdw.ethz.ch>). Applications should comprise a curriculum vitae, a short (< 1 page) statement of motivation, and contact details for two referees combined in a single pdf file. Review of applications will begin Monday May 20th. All the best, Peter and Ben ________________________________ Prof. Peter Ulmer ETH Zürich Institute of Geochemistry and Petrology Clausiusstrasse 25 / NW E77 CH-8092 Zürich Switzerland E-mail: peter.ulmer@erdw.ethz.ch
