Switzerland: Employment Opportunity for PhD Fellowship Focusing on Understanding Supercritical Geothermal Resources Above Magma Reservoirs in New Zealand

Vacancy - PhD position on understanding supercritical geothermal resources above magma reservoirs in New Zealand (ETH Zurich)

Location: Zurich, Switzerland
The length of the appointment will be for 4 years, starting in summer 2020.

The Institute for Geochemistry and Petrology at ETH Zurich invites applications for a PhD fellowship focusing on on understanding supercritical geothermal resources above magma reservoirs in New Zealand.

We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student interested in studying the physical and chemical interactions between magmas and fluids above active magma reservoirs (in this case, in the Taupo Volcanic Zone, North island of New Zealand), in order to better understand supercritical geothermal resources.

The project will dominantly revolve around modeling fluid flow and heat transfer in and above shallow magma reservoirs, but will also be using field and geochemical data to constrain the models.
