Dear colleagues, Can you please be so kind and share with your students a PhD position in computational mineral physics that is opened within a broad Marie Curie doctoral network. Thank you in advance ! This is specifically for the Doctoral Candidate 14, part of the REALISE Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network. The project aims at extracting solubility values and degassing efficiency of major volatiles, like CO2, H2O, and SO2, from lavas during eruptions. The solubilities will be estimated using ab initio molecular dynamics. The obtained results will shed light on the nucleation of nanobubbles and the incipient stage of gas release. The ab initio work will be the basis for refining interatomic potentials for volatile-rich silicate lavas. Then the succesful candidate will perform large-scale MD simulations of degassing and devolatilization, which will capture the kinetics of devolatilization, bubble coalescence, and adsorption. Finally, we will study the chemical reactions taking place in the gas phase, their interaction with the bubble surfaces, and the fluxes through the liquid-gas interface. 📍 Host institution: Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (IPGP) / CNRS 🎓 Position: PhD (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Candidate) 🌍 International training network with secondments across Europe 📅 Application deadline: 31 March 2026 MSCA Doctoral Candidates receive a competitive salary, mobility allowance, and full doctoral training within an international consortium. 👉 Full details and application: https://lnkd.in/eXGwDsiK REALISE brings together leading European institutions to train 15 doctoral candidates at the interface of igneous petrology, volcanology, and machine learning, with applications ranging from volcanic hazard assessment to the study of critical raw materials.
