LMU Munich, Germany: PhD project on shallow subaqueous explosive eruptions
From: Bettina Scheu <b.scheu@xxxxxx>
****************************************************************************************************

A
        3-years PhD position on
        shallow subaqueous explosive eruptions is available at the Department of
        Earth and Environmental
        Sciences, LMU University, Munich. The work is part of the ERC
        project EVOKES (Explosive
          Volcanism in the Earth System) awarded
        to Prof Dingwell. 
    The
        candidate will explore the
        complex dynamics of magma fragmentation in presence of a aqueous
        cooling
        medium. He/she will experimentally investigate the effect of
        thermal contraction
        versus thermal expansion on the fragmentation behaviour &
        efficiency. The experimental
        clasts will be analysed for their grain size and textural
        parameters. Thermal
        analysis will constrain their cooling history and used to model
        the results. 
    Candidates should have a MSc in a relevant area
        (volcanology, geophysics,
        Earth sciences); experience in laboratory work and modelling
        will be considered
        beneficial. 

    For further information please contact Bettina
        Scheu (b.scheu@xxxxxx) or
        Ulrich Kueppers (u.kueppers@xxxxxx).

    To apply, send one PDF including your CV, a
        research statement, an academic
        transcript and contact information for 2 referees to Bettina
        Scheu
        (b.scheu@xxxxxx). The research statement should include a
        description of
        undergraduate research projects/studies undertaken as well as
        future research
        interests.

    Evaluation of the applications will start
        01.12.2014, until the position is
        filled. The project start is planned for spring 2015. Further we
        encourage
        interested candidates joining AGU Fall Assembly to contact us
        beforehand to
        organize a meeting during the conference 

    Best regards,
