Dear colleagues,

The Laboratory of Geology at Lyon (University Lyon1 & ENS de Lyon, France) invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship in geodynamic/petrological modeling.

Research focuses on further developing global modeling of hydrogen and methane production from the hydrothermal alteration of the oceanic lithosphere through geological time. The numerical model will link petrology data with high-resolution plate motion models using pyGPlates. The results will be tested against the data recently acquired by the community. The successful applicant will indeed work in close collaboration with an international group of scientists of the Deep Carbon Observatory science network (https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/bZ89BmumkLmkil?domain=deepcarbon.net)<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Jb1WBnUAwZAwCM?domain=deepcarbon.net>, and with Muriel Andréani, Isabelle Daniel and Nicolas Coltice in Lyon.

The candidate should hold a PhD in Earth Sciences and should have experience with data analysis using one or more programming languages, preferentially Python. Networking experience with the Deep Carbon Observatory science network and organizational skills will be appreciated.

The successful candidates are expected to work in both independent and collaborative group environments and to be self-motivated to accomplish the research goals. The initial appointment will be for a period of one year and is likely to be extended. The net salary 28000-30000 €/year, depending on experience, includes health insurance and social benefits. Information on the cost of living in Lyon can be found here: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Xq1VBlSom8omik?domain=numbeo.com<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Xq1VBlSom8omik?domain=numbeo.com>.

To apply, please submit a single PDF document to Isabelle Daniel (isabelle.daniel at univ-lyon1.fr<mailto:isabelle.daniel at univ-lyon1.fr>) and Nicolas Coltice (coltice at univ-lyon1.fr<mailto:coltice at univ-lyon1.fr>) incorporating the following: a cover letter, contact information for two references, curriculum vitae with a publication list, and a statement of past research accomplishments and future research goals (two pages or less).

Complete applications will be reviewed every two weeks, starting now, until the position is filled.


On behalf of Prof Nicolas Coltice
