End of Page  Research Fellowships and Ph.D. Studentships at the Bayerisches Geoinstitut, University of Bayreuth

The Bayerisches Geoinstitut invites applications for postdoctoral research positions and Ph.D. studentships in the fields of experimental and theoretical geosciences.

The main aim of the institute is to investigate structure, composition and processes in the interiors of the Earth and other planets, primarily through experiments at high pressures and temperatures. Research topics include, but are not restricted to, physical and chemical properties of mantle minerals, crystal structure of minerals at high pressure, phase transitions, phase equilibria, kinetics, rheology and textural evolution during high-strain deformation, properties of silicate liquids and chemical and physical processes of planetary core formation.

The institute offers a unique range of state-of-the-art experimental and analytical facilities. Further information about the current research and facilities can be found at http://www.bgi.uni-bayreuth.de.

Postdoctoral appointments are usually made for an initial period of 30 months, with the possibility of subsequent renewal up to a total of five years.
Applications for shorter periods and from senior scientists will also be considered. Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, list of publications, details of three referees and a brief statement of research interests to the
