Department of Earth Sciences, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3AN Fixed term for 2 years Reporting to Associate Professor James Bryson, the post holder will be a member of the Planetary Magnetism research group with the responsibility of carrying out research as part of the UKRI Frontier Research Guarantee grant entitled MMESSH (Utilising Meteorite Magnetism to Elucidate Early Solar System History). The post holder will provide guidance to less experienced members of the research group, including postdocs, research assistants, technicians, and PhD and Masters project students if required. The post holder will employ a variety of techniques to access these paleointensities, including: petrology using optical and electron microscopy; X-ray diffraction (XRD); thermogravimetric analysis (TGA); I-Xe radiometric dating; bulk paleomagnetic measurements. Together, these methods will identify several meteorites that are likely to have recorded the disk’s magnetic field...

Department of Earth Sciences, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3AN Fixed term for three years  The Department of Earth Sciences seeks an experimental geochemist as a Post-Doctoral Research Assistant (PDRA) to join a project funded by the Royal Society and led by Ross Anderson. The emergence of complex eukaryotic life as a dominant force in ecosystems is perhaps the greatest geobiological revolution in our planet’s history. However, our ability to understand this revolution is limited by the rarity of fossil evidence. The Royal Society project takes multiple approaches to understand the preservation of early life on our planet, with the ultimate aim of targeted sampling of the geological record for new early fossils that improve our understanding of the tempo of the early evolution of eukaryotes. The PDRA will lead the design and execution of laboratory geochemical experiments that will identify the principal controls on the physical and/or chemical...

Department of Earth Sciences, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3AN Fixed term for 3.5 years Reporting to Associate Professor James Bryson, the post holder will be a member of the Planetary Magnetism research group with the responsibility of carrying out research as part of the UKRI Frontier Research Guarantee grant entitled MMESSH (Utilising Meteorite Magnetism to Elucidate Early Solar System History). The post holder will provide guidance to less experienced members of the research group, including postdocs, research assistants, technicians, and PhD and Masters project students if required. The post holder will develop quantum diamond microscopy (QDM) as a new paleomagnetic tool, and apply this promising technique to individual chondrules to access unique insight into the paleointensity of the magnetic field that threaded the protoplanetary disk. They will oversee the development and operation of the geo-QDM in the Paleomagnetism Laboratory, University of Oxford....

The Advanced Mineral Processing Research Group is seeking a Research Associate to contribute to the development and implementation of Computational Fluid Dynamics models to study the flotation of minerals from their ores. This work will build on existing modelling capabilities from the group in this area, specifically in a massively parallel Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) multiphase simulator. You will also carry out simulations to study...
