The mineralogy-petrology research group of Prof. Dr. Timm John at Freie University Berlin is a dynamic, international, and diverse team of researchers dedicated to understanding fluid-solid interaction processes across a wide range of geological environments.
We combine field observations with petrological and geochemical analyses, experiments, and advanced thermodynamic and transport modelling to quantitatively constrain the timescales, as well as the petrophysical and mechanical responses, of fluid-rock interactions.
Our research spans a breadth of topics—from subduction zones and mid-crustal environments to ore-forming systems and emerging fields such as urban mining—offering a stimulating and interdisciplinary scientific setting.
Job description:
The overarching goal of this DFG-funded project is to constrain the timescales and duration of fluid-mediated rock transformation processes in contrasting metamorphic environments where garnet growth and re...
