A PhD studentship funded by Devora (Determining Volcanic Risk for Auckland;
http://www.devora.org.nz/ ) is available to investigate the interplay of
basement and volcanic architecture at the Auckland Volcanic Field (AVF) and
Whangarei Volcanic Field (WVF) using geophysical methods. Auckland is New
Zealand’s largest city and the student will be awarded a degree from the
University of Auckland (https://www.auckland.ac.nz/).
The project aims are to firstly understand the internal architecture of
Rangitoto Volcano, the youngest, largest, and most anomalous in the
intraplate AVF. Unlike other volcanoes in the AVF, recent dating indicates
Rangitoto has erupted in 3 distinct episodes in the last 1500 years. Long
lived activity is a marked departure from all other eruptions of the AVF
and may represent a significant change in magmatism driving the AVF with
important implications for future activity. It is unclear however, if
Rangitoto represents a single volcano with multiple eruptive episodes from
a single feeder conduit, or if it is comprised of several overlapping but
genetically distinct volcanoes coincidently erupted at the same site (Needham
et al. 2011). Despite extensive study, at least 5 different models of the
internal architecture of the island exist (Hayward 2017) and geophysical
data (existing and to be acquired) will be used to further resolve the
issue to better predict future AVF behaviour.
Additionally, at the AVF the student will geophysically model the structure
of Mesozoic basement beneath Auckland to investigate controls on volcano
occurrence. The Mesozoic basement/Miocene Waitemata Group contact is a
major physical property contrast that may affect the propagation of dykes
towards the surface, hence knowing its depth and morphology is useful for
providing controls on the last critical stages of ascent of magma to the
surface. Uncovering hidden faults within the basement may also change
understanding of the seismic hazard in Auckland. An equivalent
investigation of basement control on volcanism at the little studied WVF
will also be performed.
The project will be supervised by Dr Jennifer Eccles at School of
Environment, University of Auckland, and Dr Craig Miller at GNS Science.
There will be opportunity to work both at the School of Environment,
University of Auckland (Auckland) and GNS Science (Taupo).
The student will ideally have good geophysical knowledge in potential field
methods and an interest in applying them to volcanic problems, a strong
maths and coding (preferably python) background and English language
skills. The project will involve substantial field work and geophysical
modelling using open source (SimPEG) and proprietary codes (Geosoft Oasis
Montaj, GM-SYS). Aeromagnetic and variable spatial density gravity data
already exist over both the AVF and WVF. Geophysical equipment available to
support further data acquisition includes La Coste and Romberg gravity
meters, magnetometers, resistivity imaging equipment and shallow, high
resolution seismic reflection equipment.
The PhD is funded for 3 years and includes a full studentship including
fees plus $27k NZD annual stipend.
Please send expressions of interest including a cover letter, CV and
transcripts to Jennifer Eccles j.eccles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx and Craig Miller

The New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (NMT) invites
applications for two tenure-track, Assistant Professor positions: one in
Volcanology and one in Geochemistry. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in
Earth Sciences or a related field at the time of appointment. For the
Volcanology position, we seek candidates with interests in one or a
combination of the following research areas: igneous petrology,
experimental petrology, volcanic gas geochemistry, remote sensing, physical
or numerical modeling, volcano physics, physical volcanology, and/or
volcanic hazards. For the Geochemistry position we seek candidates with
interests in one or a combination of the following research areas: igneous
petrochemistry, sedimentary geochemistry, geochemistry of ore deposits,
geochronology, and/or isotope geochemistry. For both positions, potential
for excellence in teaching and research are the most important
qualifications. Responsibilities will include developing an active program
of extramurally funded research, supervising and supporting M.S. and Ph.D.
students, teaching graduate and/or undergraduate courses (3 courses total
per year), and service to the Department, Institute, and at the
national/international level.
NMT specializes in science and engineering education and research and has a
present enrollment of approximately 2200 undergraduate and graduate
students. The successful candidates will join the Earth and Environmental
Science Department consisting of 16 faculty and about 50 undergraduate and
70 graduate students, with strong programs in Hydrology, Geophysics, and
Geology/Geochemistry, and a history of interdisciplinary research.
Additional geoscience professionals on campus include over 30 staff members
of the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, plus faculty and
researchers in the Petroleum Recovery Research Center and the IRIS PASSCAL
Instrument Center. Analytical facilities on campus include the
state-of-the-art New Mexico Geochronology Research Laboratory (40Ar/39Ar),
a stable-isotope laboratory, electron microprobe, SEM with CL, XRD, ICP-MS
systems for trace-element analysis (including a laser-ablation ICP-MS),
fission-track and cosmogenic isotope facilities and soil chemistry lab.
Applicants should submit a letter of interest, CV, statement of teaching
and research interests, one representative publication, and the names of
three references in a single pdf sent to Rosa Jaramillo (
nmtjobapps@xxxxxxxxxxx) and copied to search committee co-chairs Ronni
Grapenthin (ronni.grapenthin@xxxxxxx) and Peter Mozley (peter.mozley@xxxxxxx).
For full consideration please apply by October 1, 2018. Inquiries should be
directed to the search committee chairs.
Excellent benefits (health, vision, dental), tuition fee waiver, and a
generous retirement plan. New Mexico Tech is aware of the challenges of
dual-career couples, and provides limited assistance to qualified
individuals.
New Mexico Tech is located in Socorro, in the scenic Rio Grande River
Valley of central New Mexico, 75 miles south of Albuquerque with its many
attractions, and 139 miles south of Santa Fe. Nearby mountains and desert
canyons provide opportunities for excellent hiking, climbing, and mountain
biking. The Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, located just south
of Socorro along a major north-south flyway, offers some of the best
birding in the USA.
