Job description

Postdoctoral Analysis Assistant in Noble Fuel GeochemistryReporting to Prof Chris Ballentine, the Division of Earth Sciences seeks a Postdoctoral Analysis Assistant (PDRA) to hitch the workforce to work on a Canadian Nuclear Waste Administration Organisation (NWMO) funded undertaking. The target of this undertaking is to make use of dissolved helium concentrations within the willpower of pore-fluid residence, spatial variance and their temporal relationship with related fracture fluids at potential nuclear waste repository websites in Canada. This undertaking affords entry to an unprecedented vary of pattern materials to check ideas and calibrate numerical fashions used to estimate pore-fluid age. This strategy will present a major advance in our understanding of the transport of fluid and fuel inside crystalline rock environments over geological time.The postholder will work in shut collaboration with the PIs and NWMO workforce to establish acceptable sampling methods to make sure the standard of samples returned to the Oxford Laboratory surroundings. The postholder will likely be liable for adapting current, and growing new, analytical methodologies on each fluid and rock-core samples to find out helium and related noble fuel isotopic compositions. They’ll apply and develop current diffusion fashions to account for the noticed helium distribution within the context of fuel and fluid transport and pore-fluid residence time over a number of scales. The postholder may also be liable for offering management, enter and recommendation on comparisons between fluid residence and migration with different related methods worldwide, in addition to figuring out new prospects to generate fluid residence age and migration insights.About youYou’ll maintain, or be near completion of, a PhD/DPhil in a related subject (e.g. noble fuel geochemistry, groundwater residence geochemistry) along with expertise related to the aims of the tasks. Additionally, you will possess ample specialist information of groundwater courting proxies and have subject and laboratory expertise working with fluids and/or core samples. You could have the power to handle your individual tutorial analysis and related actions and glorious communication abilities together with the power to jot down for publication, current analysis proposals and outcomes, and symbolize the analysis group at exterior conferences.For additional particulars of the position please see the job description.
