PhD 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...

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 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...

Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), through the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology (HIF) and its Department of Analytics, is offering a PhD position on Li, Sn, and W transport and enrichment in Variscan mineral systems . This project is aimed at investigating the structural setting of known magmatic and magmatic-hydrothermal Li, Sn, and W deposits in the Variscan Orogen, identifying structural controls on ore-forming processes, and studying petrological constraints on ...

PhD opportunity in Economic Geology at Montanuniversität Leoben, Austria, in partnership with Rio Tinto. The four-year project investigates skarn–porphyry copper systems and aims to develop mineral chemistry-based exploration-targeting tools for deposits including the Bingham Canyon mine. The research combines drill core logging, optical microscopy, SEM and automated mineralogy, EMPA and LA-ICP-MS mineral chemical analyses, statistical analysis of large multi-parameter datasets, fieldwork, and l...

ETH Zurich’s Geothermal Energy & Geofluids Group in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences invites applications for a full-time PhD position in magnetic resonance applications for porous media. The project develops and applies multimodal nuclear magnetic resonance and magnetic resonance imaging (NMR/MRI), pulsed-EPR-MRI, and dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) techniques to investigate chemical and physical processes in natural rock and fractured porous media. Research topics may include ...

Doctoral Position in Environmental Microbiology at ETH Zurich The Environmental Microbiology group led by Prof. Marie Schölmerich in the Department of Environmental Systems Science, ETH Zurich is recruiting for a fully funded 4-year PhD position . The project is embedded in the interdisciplinary NCCR Genesis network, which connects microbiology with geochemistry, planetary science, physics, chemistry, and origin-of-life research. This doctoral project focuses on the physiology and bioenergetics ...
