PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Geochemistry in South Korea

Linnaeus University is recruiting a motivated PhD student for research on the impacts of glacial meltwater on biogeochemical cycling in northern Greenland’s fjords. The project will investigate how glacial meltwater influences the transport and transformation of iron, manganese, phosphorus, and organic carbon within Arctic fjord environments. The research sits at the intersection of environmental geochemistry , Arctic research , and biogeochemistry , with a focus on understanding chemical proces...

The Australian National University’s Research School of Earth Sciences is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to research the Serra Negra Rare Earth Element (REE) Prospect in Brazil. Working within a leading geochemistry research team, the fellow will investigate mineralisation processes through field studies, advanced geochemical and isotopic analysis, and interpretation of geological data. The project focuses on critical mineral deposits and offers scope for research in rare earth element geology, p...

This PhD project in environmental science focuses on environmental geochemistry in Arctic fjord-shelf systems , with Greenland’s northern coast as the central study area. The project addresses how rapidly increasing meltwater from the Greenland Ice Sheet influences the transport, transformation, and interaction of iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), phosphorus (P), and carbon (C) in downstream marine environments. The doctoral student will work with an extensive sample set collected during the GEOEO Nort...

This fixed-term research role at RMIT University focuses on soil and environmental geochemistry within the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering. Working with Chief Investigator Associate Professor Dane Lamb , the successful candidate will contribute to research on environmental mineralogy, soil chemistry, and soil organic matter biogeochemistry, with particular attention to mineral-organic interactions and mineral-mediated redox and catalytic processes . The position is designed ...

The Department of Earth System Science at the University of California, Irvine is anticipating openings for postdoctoral scholars in an interdisciplinary earth and climate research environment. The pool is centered on departmental research strengths in biogeochemistry , atmospheric chemistry , and physical climate , offering opportunities to contribute to work across the Earth system. This opening is designed for researchers who want to build postdoctoral projects within a department focused on ...

This one-year postdoctoral position is part of the European Research Council SYNERGY project ROTTnROCK , which investigates how hydrothermal alteration shapes volcano morphology, instability, and unpredictable volcanic hazards. The project addresses the hidden weakening of volcanic edifices through alteration processes that change the chemical and physical state of rocks inside a volcano, helping explain why some volcanoes fail suddenly through explosive eruptions or flank collapse. The postdoc ...

This PhD Research Fellow position in marine geomicrobiology is based at the Department of Earth Science , University of Bergen , and is linked to the Centre for Deep Sea Research and the Geochemistry and Geobiology research group. The project addresses how rapid Arctic Ocean change affects the carbon flux from surface waters to the seafloor, and how that shift influences the microorganisms living in Arctic sediments. The successful candidate will investigate the short- and long-term effects of v...

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 reservoi...

Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), through the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology (HIF), is offering a PhD Student position in the Department of Analytics on the topic Sources of Li, Sn and W in European Variscan Terranes . The project sits at the intersection of economic geology, mineralogy, geochemistry, and ore deposit research, with a strong emphasis on understanding the protoliths and geological processes that contribute to granitic magmatism and ore formation in...
