Research Professor / Associate Research Professor in Geochemistry (Isotope geochemistry)
The Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) is looking for a Research Professor or Associate Research Professor in Geochemistry with focus on isotope geochemistry and isotope geology. You will work in the Circular Economy Solutions unit and collaborate with GTK's researchers and external partners. Your office will be located in Espoo, and you can also work remotely flexibly in Finland.
You will develop state-of-the-art research and innovations as well as customer-oriented applications taking advantage of recent and future investments in cutting edge versatile analytical techniques. You are expected to successfully bid for competitive research funding sources, initiate, prepare, and lead national and international science and innovation (S&I) projects, and develop GTK’s strategic competencies in the field.
The position will involve working with a wide range of natural and anthropogenic materials, but mainly minerals and water. The most important analytical instruments regarding the position are the MC-ICP-MS and SF-SC-ICPMS hosted at GTK’s Research Laboratory in Espoo. During the next three years the laboratory will also acquire a Time of Flight ICP-MS, a femtosecond laser, and a new sector field ICP-MS.
