Two positions: Postdoctoral Fellowship and Graduate Fellowship

Two positions: Postdoctoral Fellowship and Graduate Fellowship. We are seeking candidates to join our research team and work collaboratively on an NSF-GeoPRISMS funded project to explore the influences of water, oxygen fugacity, and composition on calc-alkaline differentiation, with a focus on the Alaska-Aleutian Arc. Two opportunities are available: (1) Graduate Research Fellowship in Geochemistry. We are currently seeking a PhD student to participate in a multi-disciplinary study of magmatic oxidation state and its relationship to calc-alkaline differentiation and formation of continental crust in the Aleutian arc, with emphasis on the records preserved by natural lavas and melt inclusions. Funding is available for a minimum of three years of study toward a PhD in oceanography at the University of Rhode Island, Graduate School of Oceanography, with joint work to be done at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution. The student will be jointly mentored by Drs. Katherine Kelley (URI/GSO) and Elizabeth Cottrell (NMNH/Smithsonian). The student will have the opportunity to develop skills and new techniques in microanalytics (XANES, LAICPMS, EMP, FTIR), providing a broad education and research base in petrology/geochemistry. Graduate applications for URI/GSO are on-line at http://www.gso.uri.edu/academics/apply and applicants are encouraged to submit their applications by 15 January, 2014. Applicants attending AGU in 2013 are encouraged to contact Dr. Kelley at kelley@xxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:kelley@xxxxxxxxxxx> to arrange an in-person interview. (2) Postdoctoral fellowship in experimental petrology based in the Department of Mineral Sciences at the Smithsonian Institution – National Museum of Natural History (NMNH). Two years of support are available. The successful candidate will work collaboratively with the team on all aspects of the project with primary responsibility for carrying out an experimental program related to calc-alkaline differentiation at moderate pressures (~2 kb) using M!o-Hf-C alloy cold-seal pressure vessels. The postdoc will also have the opportunity to develop skills in microanalytics (XANES, LAICPMS, EMP, FTIR). Applicants should send a cover letter, CV, graduate transcript (unofficial transcripts accepted), and the names and email addresses of three references to Liz Cottrell at CottrellE@xxxxxx<mailto:CottrellE@xxxxxx>. Applicants should indicate in their cover letter the date by which they anticipate having their doctoral degree conferred. Review of applications will begin on January 30th but individuals attending AGU in 2013 are encouraged to contact us in advance to arrange a meeting. The Smithsonian is an equal opportunity employer.
