U.S.-Russia-Japan Partnership in Volcanological Research and Education

The University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) announces the availability of
paid summer internships for U.S. graduate students from U.S.
universities in seismology, crustal deformation, igneous petrology, and
physical volcanology. Successful applicants will become members of a
US-Russia-Japan team comparing the response of crustal magma systems to
catastrophic decompression at Bezymianny and Sheveluch Volcanoes,
Kamchatka, Russia, and Mount St Helens, Washington. The 5-year project
is part of the National Science Foundation’s program, Partnerships in
International Research and Education (PIRE), which seeks to introduce US
graduate students to internationally collaborative science. The ideal
student participant will be at an early or middle stage of her or his
PhD program, be physically and mentally prepared for rigorous field
investigations under difficult conditions, and have a strong interest in
international collaboration and understanding. It is also desirable that
the student’s major advisor share an interest in the research and,
although not a requirement, that the work can become a component of the
student’s PhD program. Complete announcement and application forms can
be obtained at http://gps.alaska.edu/PIRE and by contacting the relevant
science team leaders below. The deadline for application is March 15.
Selections will be made by April 1.
