Position
The Tectonics and Earth Systems Group seeks a Postdoctoral Researcher to study Proterozoic sedimentology and sedimentary geochemistry, focusing on Proterozoic sedimentary basins across Australia, India, and other locations. This role supports an Australian Research Council Laureate Fellowship and a Discovery Project on middle to late Proterozoic marine water chemistry and its implications for the evolving Earth system, within a broader program on the intersection of plate tectonics, critical metals, and Earth surface evolution from 1800–500 million years ago.

Conduct field-based sedimentary geology and sedimentary geochemistry analyses.
Collect elemental geochemical data and interpret it in terms of sedimentary processes (redox conditions, salinity, weathering, biological productivity).
Apply isotopic geochemistry to sedimentary geochemistry and Proterozoic Earth system evolution.
Collaborate within a diverse research team and contribute to publications in international journals.
Qualifications
PhD or equivalent in earth sciences (or thesis submitted).
Demonstrated research ability in sedimentology and sedimentary geochemistry, preferably with Proterozoic expertise.
Experience in field-based sedimentology and sedimentary geochemistry, with data interpretation related to redox, salinity, weathering, or productivity.
Experience with isotopic geochemistry and interest in biogeochemical modelling is desirable.
Good organizational and time management skills; ability to work collaboratively with research students.
