1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: Taryn Lopez <tmlopez@xxxxxxxxxx> The Volcanology Group at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) Geophysical Institute (https://www.gi.alaska.edu/research/volcanology) is currently recruiting four graduate students at the PhD level beginning in Fall 2020. The students will work on a recently funded National Science Foundation (NSF) Predication of and Resilience against Extreme Events (PREEVENTS) project to re-analyze and combine multidisciplinary observations of past volcanic unrest for eight Alaska volcanoes to develop a suite of eruption forecast models. These models will ultimately be provided to the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) for operational use to improve AVOâ??s eruption forecasting capabilities and mitigate eruption hazards. We will also develop publicly available classroom modules and a distance-based continuing education course to be shared with teachers from communities near active volcanoes to help prepare the populations most directly impacted by volcanic eruptions. More details on the project can be found here: https://sites.google.com/alaska.edu/preeventseruptionforecasting/. Qualified graduate students will be self-motivated, hard-working team-players, ideally with prior research experience. Each graduate student will work with the disciplinary lead(s) and project collaborators to develop new and/or automate existing analysis tools and analyze data related to his/her disciplinary theme for all eight target volcanoes. The students will then work together as a cohort to integrate the multidisciplinary data for each volcano, with each student leading studies on the one to two volcanoes with data most relevant to his or her research interests. A brief description of the disciplinary themes, the lead researcher (and contact information), and collaborators are found on the project website. We encourage all interested applicants to contact the appropriate disciplinary lead and apply to graduate school at the University of Alaska Fairbanks prior to the 15 January 2020 deadline.
