Job Description
Missions
The Institute of Earth Sciences (Grenoble) is seeking to recruit a postdoctoral researcher to work on the composition of natural layered double hydroxides within the ANR NaturaLDH project.
Layered double hydroxides play a key role in the transport of elements such as C, Cl and S in ultramafic rocks between the Earth's enveloppes. They are also used in numerous applications such as contaminant treatment. The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for developing a protocol for analysing natural layered double hydroxides by anion exchange and ion chromatography. The protocol will then be applied to natural samples to determine their composition and the conditions under which they were formed.
Activity
To carry out the tasks described above, the postdoctoral researcher's work will include:
- Laboratory work to develop a protocol for analysing layered double hydroxides by anion exchange (carbonation) and ion chromatography
- Characterisation of natural samples containing layered double hydroxides using electron microprobe, spectroscopic methods (Raman, infrared) and thermogravimetric analysis.
- Collection of samples containing layered double hydroxides in the field
- Participation in the dissemination of the results obtained (writing publications, participating in scientific conferences)
Your Profil
Skills
The skills required for this postdoctoral position are:
- expertise in developing analytical chemistry protocols
- mastery of laboratory work rules in chemistry
- experience in ion chromatography will be considered an asset
- experience in anion exchange mechanisms will be considered an asset
- knowledge of geology and mineralogy, particularly the mineralogy of ultramafic rocks, will be considered an asset
Your Work Environment
The successful candidate will join the Mineralogy team of Institut des Sciences de la Terre (Grenoble), laboratory with approximately 310 employees. The project will be carried out in a team composed of specialists in the geology and mineralogy of ophiolites and engineers who are experts in ion chromatography and mineral synthesis. This multidisciplinary team is particularly concerned with the quality of working relationships. The project is part of a larger project (ANR NaturaLDH) focusing on the alteration of mantle rocks. The project also includes a PhD student with whom the postdoctoral researcher will be required to collaborate.
