We offer this new position in order to strengthen the application of LA-ICPMS to ore geology and related research questions. Our laboratory is equipped with an excimer laser (Teledyne), a sector field and a quadrupole ICP-MS (Element XR, iCAP QR; ThermoFisher). Access to a multi collector ICP-MS is possible. A preference will be given to individuals, who also developed expertise in XRD techniques including Rietveld refinement.

  • teaching undergraduate and graduate courses (in German after 2 years);
  • to develop an own research portfolio and research group with PhD, Master and undergraduate students at the Chair of Geochemistry and Economic Geology;
  • to generate multidisciplinary collaboration nationally and internationally and to apply for research grants from public funds and industry.

Personal qualification
  • MSc and PhD degree (or equivalent) in geosciences or related subjects with research interests in developing methods for the LA-ICPMS technology applied to research questions in the fields named above
  • proven track record in producing high quality publications
