PhD Research Grant in the area of Geology, Volcanology (Gas Geochemistry), at the University of the Azores
Job/Fellowship Reference: UI/643/2020
The Research Institute for Volcanology
and Risk Assessment (IVAR) is calling for the award of 1 (one) PhD
Research Grant, in the area of Geology, under the FCT Research Grants
Regulation. The doctoral scholarship aims to finance the students’
research activities to obtain a doctoral degree in Geology at the
University of the Azores. The duration of the scholarship is, as a rule,
annual, renewable up to a maximum of four years (48 months).
The main objective of the work plan to be developed is to model the
thermodynamic conditions of geothermal reservoirs in different
degassing areas of the Azores archipelago. This work intends to
reinforce the gas geochemistry component of the IVAR, namely in what
concerns understanding of hydrothermal fumarolic systems. The scientific
orientation of the activities to be carried out within the scope of the
work plan leading to the obtaining of the academic degree of doctor of
Geology will be under the responsibility of Professor Fátima Viveiros,
without impeding any other possible co-supervisors.
The candidate should hold a Master's degree in the scientific
areas of Geology, Chemistry or in related areas, not have benefited from
a PhD scholarship, or a PhD in business context, directly funded by the
FCT, regardless of its duration. National citizens or citizens of other
European Union states, as well as citizens of third States, who must
have a valid residence permit at Portugal at the start of the
scholarship, can apply.
The call is opened between September 28th 5pm (Lisbon time) and
October 20th 2020. Applications and supporting documents for the
application must be submitted by email to
[email protected].
