The Search Committees will begin reviewing applications for both positions on October 31, 2018 and the positions will remain open until filled. For complete information about these positions, including required qualifications and applications materials, please view the job postings at: https://facultyjobs.hr.ufl.edu/ <https://facultyjobs.hr.ufl.edu/>. *Timescales and Rates of Earth Processes* We are interested in candidates with the ability to quantify Earth or planetary processes at short and/or long timescales. Applicants using quantitative calibrations of time including, but not limited to: geochronology/thermochronology, stratigraphy (magneto, isotope, chemo, cyclo, or bio), or modern observation systems are encouraged to apply. Inquiries may be directed to the Search Committee Chair, Dr. Andrea Dutton ( adutton@xxxxxxx). *Plate Margin Dynamics* We are interested in candidates with expertise in processes such as multiscale deformation, magmatism, basin evolution, and/or seismogenesis. We encourage applications from scientists who take a multidisciplinary approach to characterizing these environments, past and present. Inquiries may be directed to the Search Committee Chair, Dr. John Jaeger, ( jmjaeger@xxxxxxx). The Department of Geological Sciences resides in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and includes faculty with a wide range of expertise in solid Earth and planetary processes, surface processes, paleoclimate, marine geology, and paleontology. Resources include a range of modern analytical instruments including: MC-ICP-MS, TIMS, noble gas, and stable isotope mass spectrometers, SEM, EPMA, XRD, XRF, core analysis, magnetometers, GPS, and seismometers. Researchers also have access to the HIPERGATOR 2 high-performance computing cluster. The University of Florida is an Equal Opportunity Institution. ============================================================== Volcano Listserv is a collaborative venture among Arizona State University (ASU), Portland State University (PSU), the Global Volcanism Program (GVP) of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, and the International Association for Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI).

This project will combine seismic and geochemical/volcanological methods to study the seismic structure and eruption potential of supervolcanoes (particularly Taupo and Okataina calderas). The Earth Science group at Victoria University of Wellington has an established track record in these fields, and the PhD project will involve a component of fieldwork. There will be close collaboration with GNS Science or other New Zealand research organisations. In the most recent Performance-Based Research Fund (PBRF) evaluation, Victoria University of Wellington was ranked first in New Zealand for research excellence and was also ranked first in New Zealand in Earth Sciences. The next deadline for PhD scholarship applications is 1 November 2018 in New Zealand dates (31 October in the US): successful scholarship applicants receive a NZ$23,500 stipend and all tuition fee payments for a term of three years. Students should have completed an MSc degree prior to commencing study: competition for scholarships is fierce, and successful applicants will likely have high undergraduate GPAs in one or more of mathematics, physics, geology, or geophysics, and, ideally, a track record of peer-reviewed publications commensurate with experience. Full details regarding the application process are available from the Faculty of Graduate Research at http://tinyurl.com/VUW-FGR. Students wishing to apply should also contact Martha Savage ( martha.savage@xxxxxxxxx, http://www.victoria.ac.nz/sgees/about/staff/martha-savage) or Colin Wilson ( Colin.Wison@xxxxxxxxx, http://www.victoria.ac.nz/sgees/about/staff/colin-wilson) to discuss project options. ============================================================== Volcano Listserv is a collaborative venture among Arizona State University (ASU), Portland State University (PSU), the Global Volcanism Program (GVP) of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, and the International Association for Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI).
