Potsdam, Deutschland Helmholtz-Zentrum Potsdam - Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum GFZ Vollzeit

The Helmholtz Centre Potsdam - GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences is the national centre for research into the geosphere. With around 1,650 employees, we develop a sound understanding of systems and processes of the solid Earth as well as strategies and options for action to counter global change, understand natural hazards and sustainably secure energy and raw material requirements.

For section 3.4 Fluid Systems Modelling we are looking for a:
**Reference Number 9904**:
Within the research group CLEAR we endeavor to understand large scale geological processes that operate deep inside planets. Our approach is to recreate high pressure-temperature conditions in the laboratory and examine various physical properties of geomaterials (minerals, rocks, glasses, and melts) in situ using state-of-the-art spectroscopic techniques. We then use these properties in collaboration with geodynamicists to create numerical models of planets.

**Your responsibilities**:

- Synthesis of silicate glasses in the Fe2O3-FeO-SiO2-Al2O3-MgO-CaO-Na2O-system at 1 atm
- All-optical measurements of density of Fe-bearing silicate glasses in the DAC
- Methodological improvements
- Proactive scientific interaction within the research group and with other groups at the GFZ
- Report progress regularly at group meetings, domestic, and international conferences
- Publication of the results in peer-reviewed journals

**Your qualifications**:

- Master degree or equivalent in Geosciences, Physics, Chemistry, or related disciplines
- Strong interest in glass/melt-physics and challenging experimental work
- Basic knowledge of optical, infrared, and Raman spectroscopies
- Experience in diamond anvil cell or a related high-pressure technique
- Experience with bench-top optical setups
- Basic programming skills would be beneficial
- Proficiency in written and spoken English

**Start date**: 01.01.2025
**Fixed-term**: 3 Jahre
**Salary**: Die Stelle ist nach TVöD Bund (Tarifgebiet Ost) mit der Entgeltgruppe 13 bewertet. Die Eingruppierung erfolgt nach den tariflichen Bestimmungen und den entsprechenden persönlichen Voraussetzungen.
**Working hours**: Teilzeit 75% (derzeit 29,25 h/Woche)
**Place of work**: Potsdam

**What we offer**:

- Ambitious and varied tasks in a dynamic and international research environment
- State-of-the-art equipment
- Public service benefits
- Extensive training opportunities
- Professional career advice offered by our in-house Career-Centre
- Flexible working hours and conditions
- Institute day-care centre on site
- Working at the Albert Einstein science park on the Telegrafenberg in Potsdam
- Work place within walking distance of Potsdam main train station, or just a short ride on the shuttle bus
