1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: Tollan Peter <peter.tollan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Dear all, The Gübelin Gem Lab in Lucerne, Switzerland, is once again accepting applications to our annual research scholarship. The scholarship value is $30,000 (USD) and anyone at masters, PhD or post-doc level may apply. As a gemstone-testing laboratory, we encourage submissions of research projects with a clear link to gemstones (or gem materials), however this requirement is not strict and we are happy to receive applications focusing on broader topics related to gem-forming materials, environments or processes. For example, research on kimberlites, pegmatites and other gem-forming magmatic/volcanic/hydrothermal activity would be perfectly suited to our scholarship. As part of the project, the successful candidate will be warmly encouraged to visit our lab in Switzerland and use any of our facilities (including Raman, FTIR and LA-ICP-MS). Proposals utilising our extensive mineral collection, which consists of around 30,000 examples of most gem-forming mineral species from around the world, are also welcome. The proposed research project should start within 12 months of the award, with a final report submitted 12-18 months after commencement. Proposals must be in English, should not exceed 10,000 characters and can include up to 10 illustrations, images, tables or photos. A timeline for the proposed research, as well as a clearly-defined budget, are both important to include. The deadline for submission is the 31st of July, 2023.
