****************************************************************************** Ph.D. Studentship - Multiphase dynamics of pyroclastic flows From: Greg Valentine <gav4@xxxxxxxxxxx> ****************************************************************************** A funded Ph.D. studentship is available in the Geology Department, University at Buffalo, for research that applies multiphase numerical modeling to the dynamics of pyroclastic flows and resulting ignimbrite facies. The successful candidate will work under the advisement of Greg Valentine, who will be joining the UB faculty in August, 2008; the student will also interact extensively with other members of the volcanology group at Buffalo (see http://www.geology.buffalo.edu/research/volcanostudies.shtml), and will collaborate with computational fluid dynamicists at Los Alamos National Laboratory. There will be opportunities for field visits to sites that exhibit important features of ignimbrite facies. Candidates should have a general background in geology and/or geophysics as well as quantitative training such as continuum mechanics, fluid dynamics, or engineering. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Greg Valentine directly at gav4@xxxxxxxxxxxx Review of applications begins on 1 February 2008. Detailed information on the application process and the graduate program at UB can be found at http://www.geology.buffalo.edu/graduate/index.shtml ============================================================== To unsubscribe from the volcano list, send the message: signoff volcano to: listserv@xxxxxxx, or write to: volcano-request@xxxxxxxx To contribute to the volcano list, send your message to: volcano@xxxxxxxx Please do not send attachments. ==============================================================
