Assistant Professor of Petrology & Geochemistry, UCD
Applications are invited for a temporary post of a Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 or 2 within UCD School of Earth Sciences.
We wish to appoint a Post-doctoral Researcher for 24 months in the field of remote sensing and petrology, starting in August 2025. The successful candidate will join a team of researchers working on the project “Next generation tools for developing hydrogen production and carbon storage in ophiolites”, co-funded by Research Ireland Centre iCRAG and industry partner Decahydron. The research focus of this role will be the processing of various satellite and/or airborne hyperspectral surveys to produce a regional geological map of ophiolite lithologies and the overprinting serpentinising system in the UAE. Preliminary ground-control field mapping and samples of key lithologies are in place. The post will involve spectral, petrophysical, and geochemical characterization of reference samples, with research assistance provided, requiring laboratory work in Dublin, a visit to a hyperspectral lab, and geological field work in the UAE in January 2026. The map and petrophysical– geochemical dataset produced will provide surface constraints for sub-surface modelling, led by another project Post-Doctoral Researcher based at DIAS. These maps and models will guide H2 exploration and in situ carbon mineralization efforts in the area, including the targeting of deep boreholes to be drilled and sampled during the project. Working closely with project geophysicists, structural geologists, geochemists and company geologists, the candidate will contribute to the development of a high-powered playbook for exploring
