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