1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: David Pyle <david.pyle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> We are looking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Volcanic Petrology, to be based in the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford, working with David Pyle and Elena Melekhova (Oxford), and colleagues in Bristol, Plymouth, UEA, Manchester and the University of the West Indies. The post is available from 1 November, 2025, and forms a part of a larger collaboration funded under a NERC large grant, â??Ex-Xâ?? Expecting the Unexpected, Understanding â??dangerousâ?? volcanic transitions', led by Prof. Jenni Barclay (Bristol) The post-holder will join a team of investigators in a project that seeks to deliver a step-change in how we understand the dangerous eruptive transitions that are associated with significant disruptions and fatalities. The project will use the volcanoes of the Eastern Caribbean as a focal point and, with our international partners, will demonstrate how this knowledge can improve monitoring and warning systems in the Eastern Caribbean. The postholder will undertake quantitative petrological research to investigate magma storage conditions and timescales of magmatic processes in the lead up to and during selected volcanic eruptions of target volcanoes in the eastern Caribbean. Research will include analysis of materials from pre-existing sample collections, and also collaborative fieldwork to collect new samples.
