About this position

Open PhD position (CIFRE) in Geology at CY Cergy Paris Université in collaboration with Mantle8.

The project focuses on the post-orogenic reactivation of rift-related faults, with emphasis on tectonic evolution, structural and petrophysical characterization, and implications for fluid migration. The broader scientific context is natural hydrogen exploration and the role of fault systems in controlling water circulation and serpentinization in mountain belts.

Research themes include tectonics, structural geology, geophysics, hydrogeology, petrophysics, geochemistry, and numerical modelling. The PhD will involve geological and geophysical data analysis, construction of 2-D cross-sections and 3-D geological models, fieldwork in targeted areas, laboratory characterization of deformation zones, and modelling of deep water circulation along faults.

The student will work with researchers across CY Cergy Paris Université, Sorbonne University, OMP Toulouse, and Goethe University Frankfurt, and in close collaboration with exploration geoscientists at Mantle8. The post is described as multidisciplinary and suitable for a candidate interested in both academic research and the energy/resource industry.

Eligibility highlights: strong background in tectonics/structural geology, petrophysics, and fluid dynamics; genuine interest in field investigations and 3D geological interpretation; programming skills such as Python or Matlab are a plus.

Application: apply via the online form linked in the post. The poster states that applications must be submitted through the form and that LinkedIn messages or emails will not be answered.
