Dear all, I am emailing this reminder that I am looking for a PhD student at the University of Bern. The PhD position is a part of the Ambizione project, "*Quantifying redox reactions in the subducting slab: Insights from in situ analysis of Fe, C, and S in high-pressure metamorphic rocks*," awarded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. The student will be co-advised by myself and Prof. Jörg Hermann. In this project, the PhD student will measure the oxidation states of Fe, C, and S in rocks from western Norway to elucidate what redox reactions may occur between these elements during continental subduction to ultrahigh pressure conditions. The project will involve wet chemical analysis, lab and synchrotron based in situ X-ray microanalysis, and thermodynamic modeling. The student is expected to start in the first half of 2024 and fieldwork is planned for summer of 2024. *Applications will be evaluated starting on the 1st of December, 2023*, and evaluation will continue until the position is filled. Please see the attached advertisement for additional information. Apologies for cross posting. Sincerely, -Jesse Walters -- Jesse B.
