University of Bristol School of Earth Sciences is hiring a Postdoctoral Research Associate / Senior Research Associate in Petrological Controls on Ore Genesis . This 24-month, full-time, fixed-term post is part of a NERC-funded project on how copper is transported through the Earth’s interior in subduction zones and concentrated into porphyry copper deposits . The work is directly relevant to critical minerals and the transition to Net Zero. The project combines three main research strands: - Ge...

University of Oxford is recruiting a postdoc for a 30-month project on geological hydrogen , focusing on whether natural hydrogen can contribute to global energy security and food security . The research will investigate fluid-rock reactions that may generate significant natural hydrogen, using both laboratory experiments and field-based work. This is a strong fit for candidates with interests in Earth Science , Chemistry , and related geochemical or subsurface processes. The post is being share...

Postdoctoral Research Associate opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Chemistry , working with Prof. Alexander Forse on solid-state NMR and materials chemistry for the energy transition . The project is part of an ERC Starting Grant funded by UKRI and focuses on understanding and improving supercapacitor devices for energy storage.
