*PhD Position in Igneous Geochemistry at the University of Hawai*â??*i*

Early Evolution of the Hawaiian Plume from the Geochemistry and
Geochronology of Basalts Spanning the Entire Emperor Seamount Chain


The Department of Earth Sciences (ES) at the University of Hawaiâ??i (UH-MÄ?noa
in Honolulu) is searching for a highly qualified student to work as a
Graduate Assistant on an NSF-funded research project to understand the
oldest (~80-50 Ma) and most enigmatic volcanoes of the Hawaiian-Emperor
Chain using the geochemistry (major and trace elements, and Pb-Sr-Nd-Hf
isotope ratios) and geochronology (40Ar/39Ar incremental heating) of basalt
samples from the Emperor Seamounts.


Applications will be considered to the PhD program in the ES Department at
UH-MÄ?noa. A MS degree in geochemistry is desirable. The successful
candidate should have research experience in trace element or isotope
geochemistry, and a willingness to work in a cleanroom chemistry
environment for the duration of the PhD. Attention to detail is a critical
skill for the successful candidate. This project does not involve field
work, but students at UH-MÄ?noa have many opportunities to participate in
local field trips on the Islands of Oʻahu and Hawaiʻi.

The Graduate Assistant will pursue their PhD degree as part of the ES
Department in the School of Ocean and Earth Sciences and Technology (SOEST)
at UH-MÄ?noa (https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/GG/index.html__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!L3DLtIux0WJf34cMBDijLtTtGYMU7hdZLSWUPcLdq2MOBz7Q0M3SP9K6WzSC9oQ$

and will be advised by Dr. Aaron Pietruszka. Additional opportunities may
include the mentoring of local high school or community college students
and working as a Teaching Assistant to gain professional teaching
experience.


The deadline to apply is January 15, 2022 and the expected starting date is
Fall Semester in August 2022. Formal application instructions are provided
on the website of the ES Department (
https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/GG/academics/es_phd.html__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!L3DLtIux0WJf34cMBDijLtTtGYMU7hdZLSWUPcLdq2MOBz7Q0M3SP9K6A1eyZyo$

Potential applicants should contact Aaron Pietruszka (apietrus@xxxxxxxxxx)
to learn more about the project and the graduate program at UH-MÄ?noa.


 The ES Department at UH-MÄ?noa is actively seeking to increase the
diversity of its student population (
