The TIMEleSS project is looking for 2 PhD student. Both students will investigate the link between microstructures, phase transitions and seismic structures in the Earth’s deep mantle using a combination of advanced diffraction methods at synchrotron sources and in-house experimental facilities. Both positions should start on March 1st, 2018, or whenever the position are filled.
The first position will be based at the Institute for Mineralogy of the University of Münster (Germany) under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Carmen Sanchez-Valle and will focus on materials relevant for deep subducted slabs. The second position will be based at the Unité Matériaux et Transformations of the University of Lille (France) under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Sébastien Merkel and will focus on materials for an average mantle composition.
Candidates should contact Carmen Sanchez-Valle and Sébastien Merkel, following the procedures in the attached PDF files. The review process will start on January 15th, 2018, with all applications submitted until January 14th, 2018.
