Salary: £25,751 - £28,983 (grade6) /
£31,671 - £35,646 (grade7) per annum
The primary aim of the project is to iden-
tify, separate and characterize products
of aqueous alteration in Martian mete-
orites.
State-of-art analytical techniques will
be used to determine the composition
and timing of fluid movement through
the Martian crust. Results will provide
detailed information on when water was
present, where it originated, and the
scale of the Martian hydrologic system.
This aim will be achieved by a combi-
nation of high-resolution petrography
of alteration mineral assemblages, fluid
inclusion studies, 40Ar/39Ar geochro-
nology as well as noble gas and stable
isotope determinations.
The position will entail preparation of
samples from existing collections. Much
of this work will be carried out in close
collaboration with research partners at
the University of Glasgow and the Natu-
ral History Museum, London.
The candidate should possess excellent
knowledge and experience of mineralo-
gy and isotope geochemistry techniques
and ideally have laboratory experience
of both. Additional knowledge and ex-
pertise relating to fluid inclusion petrog-
raphy and meteorite petrology would
also be an advantage.
This is a 36 month position, starting on
1st September 2010, or as soon as pos-
sible thereafter.

PhD Studentships: “Impact of Mass
Transport Complexes on Reservoir
Heterogeneity”
UCL - Nexen Petroleum UK Ltd
London (UCL), two 3-year PhD research
studentships are available to start on 01
August 2010. Both projects will involve
fieldwork and laboratory work, includ-
ing work on core material and in-house
data from various hydrocarbon fields, to
investigate the characteristics and likely
origin of chaotic sedimentary deposits
(mass transport complexes) in proximal
and distal deep-marine basinal environ-
ments in the Tertiary of the Spanish Pyr-
enees and Haute Provençe, France.
If you have, or are expecting to attain
an Upper Second or First Class degree
in Geology/Earth Sciences and you are
interested in applying for one of these
PhDs, send an electronic copy of your
cv. together with the names of two aca-
demic referees that can be immediately
contacted to Professor Kevin Pickering,
Dept. of Earth Sciences, University Col-
lege London, via email ( ucfbktp@ucl.
ac.uk ).

Ph.D. or Postdoctoral Research Posi-
tion in Engineering Geology
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
Salary grade TV-L E13 or TV-L E13/2 de-
pending on qualification. The research
focus in the department of engineering
geology is currently on shallow geo-
thermal energy, nuclear waste disposal,
aquifer heat and gas storage as well as
mass movements and geo-hazards.
Candidates should hold a graduate
(Master or Diplom) for the Ph.D. position
(E13/2) and a post-graduate degree (Ph.
D.) for the postdoctoral position (E13) in
a relevant field such as geology, geosci-
ences, geotechnical engineering or in
a related discipline. A strong academic
record and high motivation for creative
research is required. Candidates must
have willingness to team-work, indepen-
dent thinking and self-learning. Profes-
sional experience is desired, but no pre-
requisite.
Your tasks will be to handle research
projects in the area of engineering geol-
ogy and the outlined research focus. Ex-
perience and profound knowledge in the
application of GIS and numerical models
in engineering geology is very desirable.
In addition you will be integrated into
the academic teaching (mainly in Ger-
man). KIT is pursuing a gender equality
policy. Women are therefore particularly
encouraged to apply. If qualified, handi-
capped applicants will be preferred.
Review of the applications will start im-
mediately and will continue until the
position is filled. Please send your ap-
plication, including CV, publications and
acquired third party funds until May 15th,
2010 to:
Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT),
Institut für Angewandte Geowissen-
schaften (AGW)
Herrn Jun.-Prof. Dr. habil. Philipp Blum,
Kaiserstraße 12, D-76131 Karlsruhe
For additional information please direct-
ly contact Jun. Prof. Dr. habil. Philipp

Postdoctoral Fellow in Hydrogeol-
ogy/Hydrogeochemistry
The University of Melbourne
The Melbourne Energy Institute and
The University of Melbourne’s School of
Earth Sciences invite applications for a
two-year postdoctoral research fellow-
ship in Hydrogeology/Hydrogeochemis-
try. The Fellow will investigate targeted
groundwater systems in Victoria and
Australia with regards to potential for
carbon dioxide capture and storage.
Experience in groundwater chemical
analyses, flow analysis and modelling,
and well logging/testing is preferred. Re-
muneration includes a generous salary
(AUD 65,368 p.a.) with yearly cost-of-
living increases, plus benefits and relo-
cation reimbursement (up to AUD 5000).
Opportunities exist for the Fellow to gain
teaching experience if desired. We an-
ticipate submitting a highly competitive
proposal by the end of the first year to
the Australian Research Council to ex-
tend the duration of the two-year Fellow-
ship by another 2-3 years.
Applicants should electronically sub-
mit a cover letter, CV and contact
information for three references to
jmoreau@unimelb.edu.au. Review of
applications will begin May 15, 2010,
and continue until the position is filled.
