Positions: PhD Positions

Country: Ireland

Application Deadline: 7 Mar 2025 - 23:59 (Europe/Brussels)

Type of Contract: Temporary

Job Status: Full-time

Is the job funded through the EU Research Framework Programme? Horizon Europe - MSCA

Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No

A hyperspectral approach to the characterisation of fluid flow and associated alteration and mineralisation in Upper Palaeozoic sedimentary sequences from south west Ireland.

Overview & Research Questions

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI), although traditionally used as a remote sensing technique, has increasingly been used to analyse geological cores for mineral prospecting, discriminating lithology, and refining stratigraphy. This project will investigate the regional scale rock alteration in the Upper Devonian Munster Basin and Lower Carboniferous South Munster Basins, southern Ireland by combining remotely sensed hyperspectral data, core/outcrop imagery and in situ Raman Spectroscopy analysis.

Two test sites have been selected: (1) the Allihies quartz vein hosted Cu deposit on the Beara Peninsula, County Cork, and (2) the Zn-Pb prospect hosted in Lower Carboniferous limestones from the Rathkeale area of north County Limerick. The main target is carbonate-hosted Irish Type Zn-Pb mineralization within the Waulsortian Limestone. The research will incorporate hyperspectral data acquired from outcrops, drill cores and UAVs into a single 3-D model that, with the aid of machine learning protocols, can be upscaled to facilitate regional mineral exploration strategies in these areas.

The following criteria apply to all the DC positions within ForMovFluid:

- Early-Stage Researchers Rule: All researchers recruited in a doctoral network must be Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs, i.e., be in the first four years of their research careers and have not been awarded a doctoral degree).
- Nationality Rule: Researchers can be of any nationality.
- Mobility Rule: at the time of recruitment by the host organisation, researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity in the country of their host organisation for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the reference date.
- English Language: ESRs must demonstrate that their ability to understand and express themselves in both written and spoken English is sufficiently high for them to derive the full benefit from the network training.
- Host Specific Criteria: Every ESR must qualify for admittance as a PhD student at the university the position is assigned to.
- Number of Applications: Candidates can apply for up to 5 projects.

All the information about the position and details on how to apply can be consulted at the project's website: formovfluid.eu.

Specific Requirements

- A First-class or 2H1 honours degree (or equivalent) in Remote Sensing. Candidates from other disciplines such as Geoscience or Computer Science may also be considered if it can be shown it is relevant to the research topic.
- A good understanding and strong interest in the application of remote sensing to geoscience research.
- A strong understanding of data analysis and statistics.
- Capability of working independently or within a project team to achieve results.
- Good communication, organisation, and interpersonal skills.

Doctoral Candidates (DCs) will be provided with the following living allowance, subject to local taxation and government contribution requirements:
