2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 From: Susan DeBari <sue.debari@xxxxxxxxx> We are excited to advertise a NSF-funded MS project in petrology/geochemistry at Western Washington University (WWU) in Bellingham Washington starting in August/September 2022: *Phenocryst or not? Using a stratovolcano's crystal cargo to explore crustal-scale crustal-scale magmatic systems, Koma Kulshan (Mt. Baker), Northern Cascade Arc* The student(s) will be funded in their first year by a teaching assistantship and in their summers and second year by a research assistantship. The project will involve field sampling at Koma Kulshan (~2-hour drive from the WWU campus) and geochemical analyses of mineral phases in lava flows and tephras (SEM/E-probe, LA-ICP-MS for trace elements, and LA-MC-ICP-MS for isotopes). The goal is to determine depth of magma/mush storage conditions and timescales of magmatic/eruptive processes. The applicant will also be expected to be involved in a paid summer institute on Koma Kulshan involving undergraduates new to STEM. The timeline for applications is very short â?? students must apply by January 15, 2022, but letters of recommendation can be received a bit later. If interested, contact Dr. Susan DeBari (debari@xxxxxxx) to learn more and apply here: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.applyweb__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!K9LwtY94zhqwpeeBpuwiVj0JrmSRrwbiwXk-pJhlWXLBBC9aN0abt1DR2X7_tvI$ . <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.applyweb.com/wwugrad/index.ftl__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!MNmHfoRJNVyS1HBnm1MJjjVIE-Mu4PKqQW-UeybgQkOr6Mn2_X_WKutQt9MUspS-vYM$> com/wwugrad/index.ftl <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.applyweb.com/wwugrad/index.ftl__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!MNmHfoRJNVyS1HBnm1MJjjVIE-Mu4PKqQW-UeybgQkOr6Mn2_X_WKutQt9MUspS-vYM$> The ideal candidate will have had some undergraduate research experience in petrology or geochemistry and have a desire to learn the analytical techniques described above from our amazing technical support staff. Candidates for the MS degree position must have a BS/BA degree in Geology with classic undergraduate training (optical mineralogy, petrology, etc.). We especially welcome students from minoritized groups (Black, Latinx, Indigenous and/or LGBTQ+) to apply for this position. WWU has a vibrant MS research program (~30 students) and a large undergraduate geology program (~150 students). Bellingham is a spectacular community nestled between the ocean and the Cascade mountains ( https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://vimeo.com/195260295__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!K9LwtY94zhqwpeeBpuwiVj0JrmSRrwbiwXk-pJhlWXLBBC9aN0abt1DRZbong4w$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://vimeo.com/195260295__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!MNmHfoRJNVyS1HBnm1MJjjVIE-Mu4PKqQW-UeybgQkOr6Mn2_X_WKutQt9MUK7IDAz8$> ).
