Objective
METEOR at The Natural History Museum (NHM) offers training opportunities in Meteoritics and Cosmochemistry to European PhD students of geochemistry, astronomy, chemistry and meteoritics (who are registered at European universities). Applicants will select their own research topics and, if invited to become Fellows, will be supervised by leading researchers. NHM has the largest collection of meteorite falls in the world including examples of all major meteorite types. Fellows will have the opportunity to use NHM's extensive meteorite collection, and will receive training in meteoritics, cosmochemistry and state-of-the-art laboratory techniques. Training in NHM's instrumentation will be provided by the team of experienced staff. Facilities available include 4 scanning electron microscopes (one with analytical capabilities), optical microscopes, electron microprobe, x-ray diffraction (including a unique microsource option for fast analysis of small samples), laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and a newly developed multicollector ICP-MS with unparalleled capabilities in transition metal isotope analysis. In addition to technical training Fellows will be given ample opportunities for scientific networking. Fellows will work alongside the international team of visiting and staff researchers, and will be enabled to disseminate the results from their projects by participating in scientific conferences and writing papers for peer-reviewed journals. The Fellowships are for between 6 and 12 months. It is the NHM's policy to provide equal opportunity for employment, career development and promotion to all who are eligible, on the basis of ability, qualifications and fit fitness for work. Applications are welcome from all qualified individuals irrespective of disability, age, race, gender or marital status.
