The Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford, is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Assistant (PDRA) in aqueous geochemistry. The role is focused on quantifying processes that may have influenced the global Hg in an effort to interpret the pre-Mesozoic history of volcanism and global change through sedimentary geochemistry. The project will focus on experimental investigation of Hg partitioning between solids and solutions in anoxic ferruginous seawater, with a view to identifying underlying kinetic and thermodynamic controls on the incorporation of Hg into newly formed solid phases...
