7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7 Alan Whittington <alan.whittington@xxxxxxxx> Funded PhD position in planetary volcanism at The University of Texas at San Antonio The Department of Geological Sciences at The University of Texas at San Antonio is looking for a highly motivated PhD student interested in doing high-temperature experimental work on Martian lava analogs, supported by the NASA-funded project "Fast and/or Furious? Nature and Emplacement History of Lavas Erupted on Mars", a collaboration between Dr. Alex Sehlke (BAERI / NASA Ames) and Dr. Alan Whittington (The University of Texas at San Antonio). Although the emphasis is on laboratory experiments using rheometers and calorimeters, there will be opportunities for fieldwork (at terrestrial volcanoes) and research on related topics, including remote sensing studies of lava morphology. Candidates should hold an MS degree in petrology/volcanology or a closely related field. Desirable qualifications include experience with experiments and a passion for thermodynamics. The PhD program in Environmental Science and Engineering provides additional coursework in Experimental Design and Analysis, Earth System Science, Statistics, as well as geoscience graduate classes in Remote Sensing, Volcanology, etc. Full funding is guaranteed for three years, with a fourth year of support anticipated. UTSA is an Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and committed to creating an environment that affirms diversity across a variety of dimensions, including ethnicity/race, gender identity and expression, veterans and individuals with disabilities. Minorities, women, veterans, and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply. For more information please contact Dr. Whittington ( alan.whittington@xxxxxxxx), who will be at GSA. Meet me at the UTSA booth(#649) on Sunday and Tuesday lunchtimes, and other times by appointment. Both PI's will be at AGU. 7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7 ============================================================== 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).
