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...
