Not funded by a EU programmeIs the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? NoOffer DescriptionA world-renowned geosciences organisation, the IPGP is associated with the CNRS and an integrated institute of the Université Paris Cité. Bringing together more than 500 people, the IPGP studies the Earth and the planets from the core to the most superficial fluid envelopes, through observation, experimentation and modelling.The research areas are structured through 4 main unifying themes: Interiors of the Earth and Planets, Natural Hazards, Earth System and Origins.The IPGP is in charge of labelled observation services in volcanology, seismology, magnetism, gravimetry and erosion. The IPGP's permanent observatories monitor the four active French overseas volcanoes in Guadeloupe, Martinique, Réunion Island and Mayotte.The IPGP hosts powerful computing resources and state-of-the-art experimental and analytical facilities and benefits from first-class technical support. The IPGP provides its students with geosciences training that combines observation, quantitative analysis and modelling, reflecting the quality, richness, and thematic diversity of the research conducted by the IPGP teams.Team CAGEThe CAGE team (Cosmochemistry, Astrophysics, and Experimental Geophysics) brings together researchers and faculty members united by a primary research focus on the formation and early evolution of the solar system, the Earth's formation, differentiation, and ancient geological history.The uniqueness of this team lies in its integration of diverse approaches and expertise to address a common question: our origins. Their work encompasses astrophysical numerical modeling, studies of extraterrestrial matter, isotopic geochemistry, mineralogy, high-temperature and/or high-pressure experimentation, and physico-chemical modeling.Team members are deeply involved in experimental development at the IPGP and in analytical development on IPGP mass spectrometers. They have regular access to ion probes from the national INSU service at the CRPG in Nancy and various synchrotron light sources. Numerical simulations are conducted on two computing clusters and the S-Capad system at the IPGP.In addition to cosmochemistry projects, team members pursue other research themes, ranging from chemical geodynamics and Archean Earth studies to major geochemical cycles, the structure and physico-chemical properties of deep Earth minerals and rocks, and the application of isotopes in medicine.MissionsDevelop experiments on condensation in plasmas using the plasma reactor at the LSPM laboratory of Université Paris Nord, and analyze the experimental products to aim for the production of oxide and silicate condensates with mass-independent oxygen isotopic variations. Interpret and publish the results.Number of agents: 1Position of responsibility: noFor researchers: research project for the UnivEarthS LabExActivitiesExperiments, analysis, conference presentations, publication.Expected SkillsSpecific training: PhD in geochemistry/cosmochemistry, expertise in conducting high-temperature experiments in plasmas, proficiency in in-situ analytical techniques (SEM, electron probe, Raman, SIMS).Obligations and RisksWorking hours: Standard full-time hours, Monday to Friday.
