Curtin University is seeking a researcher to implement the inorganic geochemistry aspects of the Murujuga Rock Art Monitoring Project. Curtin University is embarking on a journey into the past through the Murujuga Rock Art Monitoring Project, and we're seeking a passionate Research Associate/Research Fellow to lead the inorganic geochemistry aspects of this multidisciplinary endeavour. Located in the heart of Western Australia's Pilbara region, this project offers a rare opportunity to investigate the long-term preservation potential of world-class rock art. If you're ready to contribute to a deeper understanding of our planet's geological and cultural heritage, we invite you to join us. This exciting project spans disciplines as diverse as engineering, geology, microbiology, and organic geochemistry, and provides an avenue to develop a better understanding of the complex systems that host world class rock art. In this role you will: Implement Analytical Protocols to collect geological data using instruments including, but not limited to, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe analysis, x-ray diffraction, automated mineral mapping, transmission electron microscopy, and, potentially atom probe analysis. Undertake a range of sample preparation techniques using existing workflows; Geological Data Management: Coordinate the collection, interpretation, and management of geological data. Data interpretation will benefit from a good understanding of mineralogy and aqueous geochemistry.
