Dear colleagues,

we are looking for a new team member to work on an experimental PhD project that investigates the phase relations and physical properties of high pressure ices and their link to the dynamics and internal structure of icy moons.

The project is part of the DFG-NSCT (Taiwan) collaborative project ‚NEVIS‘ (“DyNamics and thErmal eVolution of Icy moonS interiors: experimental and numerical approaches“ between the University of Münster and the Academia Sinica (Dr. F. Dechamps).

Details about the project and the application procedure can be found here:

Application deadline: September 10th 2025

We would appreciate your help to distribute this advertisement among potential candidates.
Apologies for multiple posting.

Best regards

Dear colleagues,

the call for session proposals for the Goldschmidt Conference 2026 that will be held in Montreal, 12-17 July 2026, is open until October 15th.

Please consider submitting you session proposals to 'Theme 06: Analytical and Computational Frontiers'. We encourage contributions that showcase emerging frontiers of geochemically-oriented analytical and computational approaches (see full description below).

Information about the Goldschmidt Conference and how to submit a session proposal can be found at:

Theme 6: Analytical and Computational Frontiers

Analytical and computational techniques supply the data and interpretative frameworks that allow exploration of complex natural systems. Advances in such techniques, including innovations spanning from mass spectrometry to software and algorithms, are crucial to developing the geoscience toolbox necessary to answer questions over a range of time and size scales and to predict geochemical and geophysical processes and future impacts. We welcome sessions that highlight research that showcase emerging frontiers of geochemically-oriented analytical and computational approaches, including both fundamental and applied research. Session proposals should focus on method development, application, and scientific outcomes across all sub-disciplines of Earth and planetary sciences. These can include – but are not limited to – elemental and isotopic characterization of natural systems in terrestrial and extraterrestrial environments, physico-chemical investigations of in situ processes and laboratory experiments, as well as computational simulations from the atomic to the mesoscale. Studies detailing advancements in integrating data resources, data mining and processing, and approaches to scaling-up observations are also welcome.
