The Noble Gas Cosmochemistry Group (Prof. Henner Busemann) studies the most volatile elements in all types of extraterrestrial materials. It is part of the Institute of Geochemistry and Petrology of ETH Zurich’s Department of Earth Science.
We seek a highly motivated, flexible, and team-oriented doctoral candidate with a strong interest in the laboratory-based analysis of extraterrestrial samples. The position is expected to start in June 2024 (negotiable) and is fully funded for a maximum of 4 years.
Pristine meteorites and samples returned from asteroids are the best material available to study the formation of the early solar system and subsequent processes in the nebula and on small planetary bodies. A main goal of this project is to search for evidence in the noble gas record for the early solar system dichotomy that has been suggested based on various other isotope observations in meteorites. Furthermore, we aim to better characterize potential carrier materials of elusive but now well-established noble gas components and to improve our understanding of the chronology of the events that formed the solar system.
The project, mainly funded by the Swiss NSF, will utilize noble gas mass spectrometry. It may also include various methods to resolve and identify carriers of the various noble gas components spatially, physically, and chemically, using an in-vacuum etching device unique to ETH Zurich. The development of new instrumental methods as well as the efficient usage of world-class equipment will be an important part of the laboratory tasks. Research results should be presented regularly at international conferences and published in high-profile journals.
We are a small, open-minded, and strongly interactive research group, which is considered among the world-leading research teams in the field. We are well-connected with the international meteoritical research community and offer the opportunity to perform cutting-edge research, including further collaborative projects featuring newly recovered samples. We offer training on state-of-the-art research instrumentation, in-depth exchange with researchers around the world, the chance to benefit from various teaching experiences, and the possibility to prepare for your academic career.
