The selected candidate to begin in September 2021 will be based at The Graduate Center and Queens College of the City University of New York. The research will involve detailed analyses of olivine and clinopyroxene crystals, as well as their melt inclusions, and application of diffusion chronometry to quantify the mechanisms and timescales of volcano reactivation in the Canary Islands. The PhD student will also participate in the educational component of the project. Previous research experience in petrology, including use of microbeam analytical methods (SEM, EPMA, FT-IR, SIMS, or LA-ICP-MS), is preferred. Interested applicants should send a cover/motivation letter (1 page) that includes a description of applicable research experience, a CV, a writing sample (e.g., a publication, an abstract or a term paper) and contact information for at least two references as a single PDF document to Marc-Antoine Longpré ( mlongpre@xxxxxxxxxxx) by November 1, 2020.
