About this position
The University of Göttingen offers a doctoral programme in Geoscience built around three major research foci in the faculty. The programme explores coupled processes across the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere, with attention to geological, mineralogical, crystallographic, and biological processes involved in mineral and rock formation.
It also covers the dynamics and transport processes of the lithosphere, including the physical and chemical evolution of melts in magma reservoirs, volcanic processes, and the geochemical, isotopic, and physical properties of magmas used to reconstruct the origin, depth, and activity of magma chambers.
A third focus is coupled processes in georeservoirs, addressing the development of geological reservoirs in the Earth’s crust for applications such as geothermal energy and subsurface storage of gases and energy. Doctoral candidates participate in externally funded projects and gain experience in independent scientific work.
The programme is embedded in the Geoscience Centre and faculty activities, giving students the chance to engage in the scientific life of the department beyond their own project.
