Horizon Europe - MSCA Marie Curie Grant Agreement Number 101168931 Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure?
No Project Overview: Go with the Flow; tracing fluid transport pathways in hydrothermal ore deposits. Fluid transport in Earth’s crust is essential for many ore-forming processes yet reconstructing palaeo-fluid transport dynamics remains a challenge. The aim of this study is to detect and distinguish rock fabrics associated with primary sedimentary structures (e.g. bedding) from secondary fabrics associated with hydrothermal fluid flow. Two field areas have been selected for this project: 1) a Mn-Oxide carbonate replacement deposit in Berenguela, south Peru and 2) a sedimentary hosted copper deposit in the Munster Basin, Ireland. The following criteria apply to all the DC positions within ForMovFluid: Early-Stage Researchers Rule:
All researchers recruited in a doctoral network must be Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs, i.e., be in the first four years (full-time equivalent research experience) of their research careers and have not been awarded a doctoral degree). Nationality Rule:
Researchers can be of any nationality. Mobility Rule:
At the time of recruitment by the host organisation, researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of their host organisation for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the reference date. English Language:
ESRs must demonstrate their ability to understand and express themselves in both written and spoken English sufficiently high for them to derive the full benefit from the network training. Host Specific Criteria:
Every ESR must qualify for admittance as a PhD student at the university the position is assigned to. Number of Applications:
Candidates can apply for up to 5 projects. Specific Requirements: We invite applications from candidates with a first-class or 2:1 BSc degree in Geology or a closely related discipline. A master’s qualification or equivalent experience is advantageous. A strong background in Earth sciences and a willingness to develop expertise in petrographic and analytical methods are essential. You will join the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of St Andrews, becoming part of the ForMovFluid group, enhancing both technical and soft skills while exploring interdisciplinary approaches and tools. Additional Information: Doctoral Candidates (DCs) will be provided with the following living allowance,
subject to local taxation and government contribution requirements: Scotland Living Allowance £49,575 p.a. gross. Should you have a family at the time of your recruitment, you are entitled to an additional "family allowance" of EUR 500 per month. Selection Process: To apply to this position, please do it through ForMovFluid’s website: formovfluid.eu. You can apply through the dedicated form you will see in each position. Please attach the following documents in the form: A two-page CV A one-page motivation letter for each of the DCs positions you want to apply. The e-mail for a reference contact (not a reference letter, just the contact).
