1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: Sarah Lambart <sarah.lambart@xxxxxxxx> Dear all *The MagMaX Laboratory at the University of Utah *invites applications to undertake an NSF-funded PhD project that will study magma transport in the mantle. Magma transport inevitably leads to melt-rock reactions and modifications of the melt and host compositions. Understanding the potential modifications undergone by magmas during melt extraction and transport is crucial for correctly interpreting the geochemical and geophysical observations. *The successful candidate* will perform high-temperature experiments to simulate magma circulation in a porous silicate matrix. The project involves experimental development and will allow us to determine the role of the various physical and chemical parameters during magma-rock interactions and their effects on the melt and matrix compositions and magma transport mechanisms. Background in experimental petrology is a strong asset. A Masterâ??s degree in geology, volcanology, geochemistry, or equivalent field is preferred. The candidate must also have a keen interest in geochemistry and thermodynamics. *Applications are due on September 15th *( https://earth.utah.edu/future-students/future_graduate.php) for a* position available in Spring 2021.* Please contact Dr. Sarah Lambart (sarah.lambart@xxxxxxxx) with a C.V. and a brief description of research interests and experience.
