Dear students and colleagues We are advertising two three-year positions within the ERC-funded project HYDROSPHEAR, one position as doctoral research assistant (PhD student) and one position as postdoctoral research assistant (PostDoc). The project will explore how H2O may be stored in hydrous minerals of the Earth’s lower mantle by constraining their stability limits and physical properties by means of advanced high-pressure experiments. Applications for either of these positions may be submitted through the online application portal of the University of Bayreuth until 28 February 2026.
