Join the University of Tasmania in a pivotal role that supports our mission to positively impact Tasmania and the world through academic excellence and groundbreaking research. We are looking for a dedicated researcher to advance our understanding of volcanic and magmatic processes. The successful candidate will push the boundaries of research through detailed field studies on modern and ancient volcanoes combined with numerical modelling techniques. Key components include leading innovative research on ocean-modified eruption processes and destabilization of deep crustal magmatic systems during eruptions. This research is crucial for discovering critical metal ores essential for the global energy transition.
The appointee will also contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, supervise higher degree research students, and support their academic and professional development, aligning with our commitment to sustainability and innovation.

- Deliver high-quality undergraduate and postgraduate teaching.
- Develop and maintain productive links within the University and with local, national, and international communities and industries.
What we’re looking for:
- PhD in a relevant field.
- Proven research expertise in volcanology, magmatism, and numerical modelling, supported by a strong academic record.
- Experience in university-level tutoring and learning within the field.
- Track record of building and maintaining effective networks within the discipline, profession, industry, and wider community.
- Willingness to participate in ship-based scientific research.
- A record of (Level A) or demonstrated success (Level B) in securing external funding as a co- or lead-investigator.
- A contribution to (Level A) or experience (Level B) in teaching experience in undergraduate volcanology.
- Experience supervising honours, Masters, and/or PhD students (Level B).
