The minimum period is usually two months, with those who can stay longer given priority. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to join the CIIV team and participate in various projects covering a variety of aspects of volcano monitoring, one major goal being a dynamic model to explain the volcano?s behaviour. Time will be spent assisting with field and lab work, including routine collection of thermal and gas data, water samples, maintenance of installed sensors, development of new systems, and geophysical surveys etc. Analysis will be carried out of a variety of data types. Applicants should have or be working towards a degree in the Earth Sciences or Physics with some field experience. Some knowledge of Spanish would be useful, and a reasonable level of fitness is necessary for hiking at altitude. There is a particular demand for applicants with some programming experience, principally Matlab, and for webpage development. There may be the possibility to visit some of Mexico?s other active volcanoes for other projects. This is an excellent opportunity to obtain experience working on an active, frequently erupting volcano and in using various field, laboratory and analytical techniques. It could be of great benefit to someone waiting to enter graduate studies in volcanology. No salary can be paid, but affordable accommodation is available. Colima is a great place to spend a few months. Further information can be found on our social media and the website: http://ciiv.ucol.mx/ (though in urgent need of updating).
