Professor or Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) of Experimental Geochemistry/Mineral Physics

The Department of Earth Sciences (www.erdw.ethz.ch<http://www.erdw.ethz.ch>) at ETH Zurich invites applications for the above-mentioned position at the full, associate or assistant professor level.

The professorship offers long-term funding to establish new laboratories and a dynamic research team, at the core of an innovative research program directed at the fundamental understanding of the properties and behavior of Earth materials from the atomic to the global scale. The program includes experiments at elevated temperatures and pressures and may be complemented by in-situ observations of natural and experimental materials (e.g., synchrotron and other microbeam methods) and/or theoretical modelling of physical chemistry. Potential fields of research include the physical properties of crystalline substances, the transport properties and physical chemistry of melts and fluids, the kinetics of phase transitions or the characterization of isotopic fractionations operating from the interior to the surface of planets.

The successful candidate is an experimental geochemist or mineral physicist, who will combine experimentation at high pressures and temperatures with complementary theoretical investigations. He or she is a leading scientist exploring the atomic-scale structure and the physical and chemical properties of solids, melts or fluids, with the aim of understanding the internal dynamics of the Earth and other planets. The new professor and her/his research group will be expected to contribute to introductory and advanced courses on crystallography, mineralogy and the physical chemistry of materials at the Earth's surface and interior as well as to teach undergraduate level courses (German or English) and graduate level courses (English).

An assistant professorship promotes the careers of younger scientists. The initial appointment is for four years with the possibility of renewal for an additional three-year period and promotion to a permanent position.

Details regarding the application procedure and required documents can be found at www.erdw.ethz.ch/en/department/jobs/professorships<http://www.erdw.ethz.ch/en/department/jobs/professorships>. Please submit your application addressed to the President of ETH Zurich, Prof. Dr. Lino Guzzella online at www.facultyaffairs.ethz.ch<http://www.facultyaffairs.ethz.ch>. ETH Zurich is an equal opportunity and family friendly employer and is further responsive to the needs of dual career couples. We specifically encourage women to apply.
