Postdoctoral Researcher in Detrital Geochronology

Based in the School of Physics, Chemistry and Earth Sciences at the North Terrace Campus

Full-time, fixed term contract until 30 June 2029

Salary range: $81,293 - $109,307 per annum (plus 17% superannuation)

Research-focused position in detrital geochronology (beyond zircon)

At Adelaide University, we create the opportunities you need to achieve your ambitions because when you thrive, we thrive.

The Continental Evolution Research Group (CERG) specializes in constraining time-temperature histories of tectonic processes and associated mineralisation. We are revolutionizing the field of geochronology by developing new analytical methods to rapidly acquire dates within petrogenetic context. This Australian Research Council funded project focusses on the development of beta-decay geochronology applied to detrital sediments. We are seeking a motivated post-doctoral researcher to assist development and application of coupled Rb-Sr / K-Ca / Pb dating of K-bearing minerals and participate in collaborative research projects regarding the application of beta-decay geochronology.
