Postdoctoral Position in Mineralogy and Geochemistry of Seafloor Hydrothermal Systems

Under the new call for postdoctoral researchers of the Macao Science and Technology Development Fund (FDCT), the Institute of Science and Environment (ISE) of the University of Saint Joseph (USJ) under a fixed-term contract (24 months). The candidate will work in the group of Professor gata Alveirinho Dias, applying geochemical methods in combination with mineralogical studies to address questions related with the formation, distribution and preservation of seafloor massive sulfide deposits. Depending on the candidate profile, the work can be mainly focused in one of the following topics: (1) understand and constrain the physical and chemical processes of seafloor mineralization, or; (2) understand the contribution of serpentinization processes in the formation of seafloor hydrothermal deposits.
