Recently funded project by NSF will investigate lava-water interaction dynamics and the formation of submarine lava flow morphologies using high temperature laboratory experiments and numerical modeling. *Funding*: 3 years RA support will be provided through the grant. Additional funding as TA support will be available. *About Volcanology lab*: The Volcanology lab in the Department of Geosciences ( https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.geo.arizona.edu/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!OdtbSvoioO9CqBEYXYFnl8dxJaCuD2V-kY-j5pMfvBv25BvENZoERJRnv1ZPMs8$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.geo.arizona.edu/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!Kub52q9mg5YgWV0M_1zfZTtkNnL59YkjBfqLOv4U5HNP1QqslADKU-B6V_Z3V3Y$>) hosts a state-of-the-art fluid dynamics laboratory with high-speed imaging facility. Along with understanding terrestrial volcanic eruption dynamics, we pursue research in Planetary Volcanology and regularly collaborate with the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory in the Department of Planetary Sciences. Both UA Geosciences and Space Sciences rank in the top graduate programs in the country. *Start date*: Start date is Fall, 2022. *Application details*: Application deadline is January 7, 2022.
