About the opportunity
The successful candidate will push the boundaries of research in volcanology and magmatic processes through the combination of detailed field studies on modern and ancient volcanoes with numerical modelling techniques. Key components of this position include leading innovative research on how the ocean modifies eruption processes and how deep crustal magmatic systems can be destabilized during eruptions. They will use well-exposed ancient volcanic edifices to elucidate the triggers and processes involved in releasing and transporting Cu-metal-rich fluids from the deep crustal magmatic plumbing system to facilitate new Cu and critical metal ore discoveries required for the energy transition. The appointee will also supervise higher degree research students undertaking research in volcanology and contribute to their academic and professional development.
The appointee will contribute to developing and delivering teaching and professional training programs in volcanology sedimentology and natural hazards with appropriate guidance from the course or program coordinator. This effort aligns with the Universitys commitment to preparing Earth Science graduates required to meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and fulfil future workforce demand in Australia.
This position offers the exciting opportunity to work within the Centre for Ore Deposit and Earth Sciences (CODES) at the University of Tasmania. The successful applicant will have access to world-class resources and expertise and will be part of a dynamic team that fosters a culturally productive and collaborative environment. The appointee will be at the forefront of research at the nexus of volcanic and magmatic systems and use that unique perspective to address critical resources challenges of the future.
