Key Responsibilities:

  • Engage in pioneering research focused on the genesis and temporal dynamics of magmatic-hydrothermal or magmatic mineral deposits of strategic and essential metals within the continental crust (70% of the role)
  • Support the functionality of radiogenic isotope laboratory facilities, encompassing clean environments, thermal ionization, and multi-collector-inductively coupled mass spectrometers (30% of the role)
  • Initiate and develop independent research projects concerning metal cycling and the genesis of premier ore deposits in the continental crust
  • Exhibit a strong commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration and scientific dialogue with both internal and external stakeholders
