PhD in geosciences

This PhD project aims to investigate the behavior of Rare Earth Elements (REE) during polyphase deformation./nThe project will integrate quantitative analyses of REE-bearing minerals in rocks and veins—based on petrological, geochemical, and geochronological data./nThe successful candidate will have the opportunity to conduct fieldwork in the Alps./nAs part of this four-year project, you will receive training in thermodynamic modelling and microanalytical techniques (scanning electron microscope, electron microprobe, Raman microspectroscopy, laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry) to reconstruct the scale and mechanisms of REE mobility during polyphase deformation./nThe project will be based at Stockholm University and is supported by a network of national and international collaborators.
