Offer Description

UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 within UCD School of Earth Sciences - iCRAG

We invite applications for a position of Post-Doctoral Research Fellow for a research project awarded to Dr Koen Torremans as part of the Research Ireland Centre for Applied Geosciences (iCRAG) at the UCD School of Earth Sciences. The research project is called "Enhancing orebody understanding and near-mine mineral exploration at Galmoy", and it aims to advance our scientific understanding of the structural controls, hydrothermal alteration footprints, and sulphide mineral chemistry at an active Irish-type Zn-Pb mine, and to translate this into exploration and mining geology. The successful applicant will join a research group of 12 members. The post-doctoral research fellow will assist in integrating mineralogical, hyperspectral and geochemical characterisation of hydrothermal alteration haloes associated with mineralisation at the Galmoy deposit and across the Rathdowney Trend.

Salary Range: €47,273 - €53,925 per annum
