      "Geological and volcanological applications of
      Fourier-transform imaging spectrometers"
    Hi.
    I am looking for a graduate student (PhD) to
      work on a
      project investigating the geological/volcanological applications
      of Fourier-transform imaging spectrometers, for long-wave infrared
      remote sensing. The
      student’s research will be part of a wider instrument development
      project. While
      that instrument will not be ready for flight for another two
      years, we have
      several other (similar) instruments on the shelf that the student
      will use to
      determine (in the lab, the field, and from the air), how this
      imaging technique
      can be used, for example, to discriminate the mineralogy/lithology
      of solid
      surfaces, and the composition of volcanic 
      gas plumes. The student will also play a role in the
      development and flight
      testing of the new instrument. The position will
      start in Fall 2014. The project will be well suited to someone
      with a background
      in physical sciences, geophysics, or geology. Experience in
      analyzing
      spectra extracted from image data (e.g. in IDL or MatLab) will be
      distinctly useful.
    Please send a full cv (the usual stuff required
      for a grad school application, with contact details for referees,
      and any questions) to wright@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
    In order to ensure a Fall 2014 start, review of
      applications
      will need to begin immediately.
    Thanks, Robert Wright.
