Research engineer in gas monitoring and Raman Spectroscopy (F/M)

Context and structure description

The position is based at ISTerre (Grenoble, France). The hired engineer will join the mineralogy team (15 researchers and professors, 3 permanent engineers, 10 PhDs, 7 Postdocs), and work under the supervision of Prs Laurent Truche and Frederic Donze. ISTerre laboratory (Grenoble, France) is a world leading research institution in geoscience (ranked 18th by the Shanghai QS ranking in the field of Earth Science), with 110 permanents scientists and 41 engineers. ISTerre has a strong expertise in the field of hydrogen generation, migration, and reactivity in geological environments with 5 permanents scientists and 3 engineers actively working in this field for more than one decade. The lab is already fully equipped for the need of the project (portable Mass spectrometer, GC, Raman spectrometer, EMPA, SEM, gas adsorption/desorption; LA-ICPMS, XRD).

Missions

Under the supervision of Prs Laurent Truche and Frederic Donze, the hired research engineer will develop innovative methodologies for gas monitoring in the field (gas adsorption sensors, onsite measurement of noble gases content and stable (H, C, O) isotopes fractionation, remote detection of gas seepages), and in the lab (themo-desorption, fluid inclusions). He∙She will participate to field investigations. The objective will be to track H2 seepages and to reveal geological/topographic control on gas migration. The obtained results will be published in international scientific journal. The hired engineer will be enrolled in this process and even be encouraged
to actively published his∙her result.
