About this position

This postdoctoral project is based at the Centre de Recherches Pétrographiques et Géochimiques (CRPG, UMR 7358) in Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy, within a geoscience research environment linked to the CNRS and the Université de Lorraine. The recruited researcher will join ongoing work in mineralogy and crystallography, with strong interactions across the laboratory and with the crystallography research group (CRM2).

The project focuses on the characterization of demantoid garnet samples, including materials from Type I and Type II deposits. The postdoctoral researcher will investigate their mineralogical and chemical signatures using a range of analytical and structural techniques, with the aim of relating these signatures to formation conditions and to variable water contents in minerals that are nominally anhydrous.

The work includes analysis of the unit-cell parameter a and symmetry reductions derived from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. It also involves the use of multiple complementary methods, including mineral characterization, spectroscopy, diffraction, and microscopy, to build a detailed picture of the samples.

Beyond data acquisition, the role includes data processing, interpretation, presentation of results at international conferences, and publication of findings in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

What's required

A strong knowledge of crystallography is required, along with mastery of group/subgroup relations between possible space groups for diffraction data processing. The advert also expects experience with mineral characterization and analytical techniques such as microscopy, X-ray diffraction, spectroscopy, and related methods. Candidates must submit a CV of up to 4 pages and the contact details of two referees.

How to apply

Send a CV of maximum 4 pages and the contact details of two referees to Dr. Isabella Pignatelli at [email protected]. Use the application link provided in the advert if needed for the formal posting.
