Stillingstittel:
Researcher in Experimental Rock Deformation (2016/5699)

Stillingsbeskrivelse:
The University of Oslo is Norway’s largest institution of research and education with 28 000 students and 7000 employees. Its broad range of academic disciplines and internationally esteemed research communities make UiO an important contributor to society.

The Physics of Geological Processes (PGP) section of the Department of Geosciences is seeking candidates for a Research Scientist in the field of experimental rock deformation under in-situ X-ray micro-computed tomography.

The position is for two years.

Job Summary:

The successful candidate for this position will become part of the ERC Advanced grant project Disequilibrium metamorphism of stressed lithosphere (‘DIME’). DIME is focusing on how mechanical stress affects fluid migration and transformation processes in the various rock units comprising the Earth’s crust and upper mantle (the lithosphere) in situations far from thermodynamic equilibrium. The successful candidate will be expected to lead tri-axial experimental runs under relevant geological conditions, analyze acquired 3D scans, and provide theoretical application to Earth’s systems. He or she will also be expected to foster team collaboration with analytical associates involved in the project.

Primary Job Functions:

• Provide guidance and oversight on the experimental capabilities to users.
• Develop/assess/validate new methodologies based on XCT analysis techniques.
• Travel to national laboratories to perform synchrotron-based X-ray measurements.
• Collaborate with academic researchers on the experimental measurements.

Job Requirements:

• Ph.D. in Physics, Geology or Materials Science.
• Demonstrated ability on experimental rock deformation apparatuses.
• Excellent communication (oral and written) and interpersonal skills.
• Expertise in X-ray analysis and measurements.
• Proficiency in operating in-house X-ray based systems.
• Experience in the use of MATLAB, FIJI and/or AVIZO for image data analysis.

Salary:

Position code 1109 Researcher, Pay Grade: 57 – 61 (NOK 483 700 – 519 800 per year, depending on qualifications and seniority).
