2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 From: Meredith Townsend <mtownse4@xxxxxxxxxxx> 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 Dear all, I am seeking applicants for PhD and postdoctoral opportunities in volcanology/geomechanics in the Department of Earth Sciences at University of Oregon, to start in the fall of 2019. Particular projects can be tailored according to applicants' interests, but a few examples of target questions could include: - How are crustal magma chambers assembled and what promotes their growth into large, long-lived reservoirs? - How do interactions between crystals, melt, and magmatic fluids lead to reservoir-scale compositional and rheological heterogeneities? - How and why does the architecture of volcanic plumbing systems evolve over time? - What controls the propagation and arrest of magmatic dikes/sills, veins, or other fluid-filled fractures? Projects might involve some combination of field work and modeling. Field work likely would consist of mapping and sample collection at ancient volcanoes where the plumbing system (dikes/plugs, plutons) is exposed. Modeling work might include developing and applying thermal, mechanical, and/or fluid dynamical models to better understand magmatic and volcanic processes and to explain observations made in the field. Other methods also may become important, for example microstructural or petrologic analysis of samples collected in the field. *PhD applicants:* The deadline to apply for the PhD program is December 21, 2018. Application instructions can be found at: https://earthsciences.uoregon.edu/graduate-program/how-to-apply/ *Postdoc applicants:* The postdoc position is for approximately 12 months, and postdocs will be engaged with writing proposals to extend funding. To apply, please submit the following directly to me at mtownse4@xxxxxxxxxxx: CV, contact info for 3 references, and a 1-2 page informal research proposal explaining one or two project ideas to be completed together at UO For more information, please contact Meredith Townsend: mtownse4@xxxxxxxxxxx Thanks, Meredith https://earthsciences.uoregon.edu/profile/mtownse4/ ============================================================== 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).
