3 faculty science geology earth sciences and oceanography jobs found in Oxford

We seek to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) to join the prolific climate and impact science community at the University of Oxford, and that is interested in playing a crucial part in the multifaceted outcomes of this project. You will be a member of Climate Research Programme, but there is opportunity to engage Oxford researchers with common research interests at other Department and Schools. Your duties will include data analysis, postprocessing and attribution of the selected classes of societally impactful hydrological extreme events and TCs recently observed and projected by the end of 21st century. You will also work on incorporating climate information of such extreme events into the climate risk stress testing tool and resilience rating system at the World Bank and dissemination to its stakeholders around the world through CCKP. Developing new ideas for addressing physical and socio-economic research questions on extreme events in a changing climate will...

Department of Earth Sciences 3 posts available - Fixed term for up to 3 years in the first instance with a possible extension. The postholders will perform research on the project entitled VulcansFluids: The behaviour of halogens and sulfur in high temperature natural processes. Research will be predominantly in the experimental petrology laboratory under the direction of Prof Bernard Wood https://www.earth.ox.ac.uk/people/bernie-wood/.  The experimental group is large and active and in addition to research duties the post holders will provide guidance to less experienced members of the research group, including postdocs, research assistants, technicians, and PhD and project students. The post holders will be responsible for managing their own academic research and administrative activities, involving small scale project management to co-ordinate multiple aspects of work to meet deadlines. They will adapt existing and develop new scientific techniques and...

Department of Earth Sciences South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3AN Reporting to the Principal Investigator, the main responsibility of this post is to assess the potential for carbonate mineral formation downstream from the range of UK enhanced rock weathering demonstrator sites where crushed basalt is being applied. The post holder will be part of a consortium project ERW-GGR (Enhanced Rock Weathering-Greenhouse Gas Removal) which is itself a component of the UKRI funded Demonstrator phase of greenhouse gas removal techniques assessing sustainable routes for large-scale removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. The post-holder will lead the design and execution of a series of laboratory experiments to assess the rate of mineral formation at various river/groundwater chemistries, using element or isotope dopants to minimise uncertainty. They will also explore the role of inhibitors such as soluble reactive phosphate and organic acids in maintaining alkalinity in the...
