Job Description
Missions
At CNRS, ISTO, the candidate will work in the framework of the GEOASTRONOMY project, which is a collaborative ERC project, involving PIs in Orléans (F. Gaillard, Fr), Munich (K. Heng, Ger) and Bayreuth (S. Mojzsis, Ger). The mission is to resolve several issues on the broad topic of solubility of (C-O-H-N-S-Cl-F) volatile elements in silicate magma in the exotic Pressure-Temperature-Composition parameter space covered by exoplanetary systems. A priority is given to the solubility of chlorine and carbon in silicate melts. The sub-sequent missions will be decided with the candidate. The candidate will use internally heated pressure vessels, piston-cylinders, plus many analytical facilities (including synchrotron), which are well adapted to the probing of these volatile components. The aim of such experiments is to capture the chemical foundations ruling planetary interior – atmosphere exchanges in order to pave the way for the interpretation of astrophysical observations on exoplanets.
Activity
: The candidate is expected to
• conduct, analyze and interpret experimental results obtained at high pressure and temperature
• discuss results with a group of local collaborators
• expose and share results with the ERC partners
• present results in international congress
• publish results in international journals
• collaborate with other fellows involved in GEOASTRONOMY
