    The Multidisciplinary Applied Geochemistry
      Network (MAGNET) is an NSERC-funded industrial-stream
      Collaborative Research and Training Experience (CREATE) program
      devoted to geochemistry. We are seeking highly
motivated

    MSc and PhD applicants

      demonstrating strong research potential and academic excellence to
      join our dynamic and rapidly growing network.
    Current research project openings include:
    The isotopic signal of dacite magmas triggering silicic
      supervolcanic eruptions 
    The enriched mantle end-member in Hawaiian basalts on Oahu
      (Koolau, Makapuu) 
    Defining the compositions and mantle source(s) of Kauai shield
      lavas (Hawaii) 
    Orogenic peridotites as a key to understanding the evolution of
      the lithosphere 
    Timescales of magmatic processes and cooling in the Skaergaard
      intrusion

      MAGNET trainees
          will benefit from an intensive training program that includes
          (1) Innovative research projects that are likely
          to have significant scientific and/or societal impact; (2)
          Mentorship from some of Canada’s leading scientists who are
          internationally recognized for their geochemistry expertise;
          (3) Hands-on training in the latest techniques using
          state-of-the-art equipment; and (4) Internships with top
          analytical, environmental, mining and resource exploration
          companies.

        Projects are based at one of our partner universities
        (University of Ottawa, University of Toronto, University of
          British Columbia, McGill University, Université
        du Québec à Montréal, Université du Québec à Chicoutimi).
        Application procedures and deadlines are unique
        to each institution (some as early as January for September 2014
        start) so prospective students should start the process as soon
        as possible.
    See application
        instructions: http://www.magnet.eos.ubc.ca/apply/how-to-apply/

    MAGNET is open to Canadian and international
        applicants. Salary and travel stipends are available for up to 2
        years for MSc trainees, and up to 4 years for PhD trainees.
        Graduate students who have already commenced their program are
        not eligible to apply for MAGNET funding.
