*********************************************************************** Postdoctoral position in France From: Tim Druitt <T.Druitt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> *********************************************************************** Candidates are sought for a two-year postdoctoral project on magmatic processes at Santorini Volcano, Greece. The aim of the project is to reconstruct the ascent and crystallization history of silicic magma bodies through a combination of detailed phenocryst stratigraphy studies (BSE imagery), microanalysis of crystals and melt inclusions (EPMA, SIMS, FTIR) and high-resolution phase-equilibria experimentation. The topic forms part of a larger project on Santorini magmatism already financed by the French ANR funding agency, and collaborative between the laboratories at Orléans (B. Scaillet), Clermont (T. Druitt), Nancy (E. Deloule), Saclay (S. Scaillet) and Barcelona (F. Costa). SEM, EPMA and FTIR techniques are available in the laboratories at Clermont and Orléans; SIMS at Nancy, diffusion profile analysis at Barcelona, and 40Ar/39Ar and 14C dating facilities at Saclay. The experimental facilities at Orléans will be used for determining phase-equilibria relationships. The successful candidate will spend half the time in Clermont and half in Orléans. The salary will be 3600-4110 euros per month prior to tax, depending on post-PhD experience. The starting date must be no later than 1 April 2009 to enable field sampling on Santorini in early May. Potential candidates are requested to send letters of motivation, CVs, accounts of prior research (including any article pdfs) and the names of two referees to Bruno Scaillet (bscaille@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) and Tim Druitt (T.Druitt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). ============================================================== 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. ==============================================================
