*Three PhD positions in volcanology and igneous petrology at the Asian
School of Environment, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore*
The Asian School of Environment (ASE) at Nanyang Technological University
(NTU) and the Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) has up to 3 funded PhD
studentships in volcanology and igneous petrology.
ASE is an interdisciplinary school at NTU that integrates Earth and
environmental life science, ecology, engineering and technology, human
ecology, humanities, and the social sciences to address key issues of the
environment and sustainability. EOS is a research centre at NTU with a
mission to conduct fundamental research on earthquakes, volcanic eruptions,
tsunamis, and climate change in and around Southeast Asia, toward safer and
more sustainable societies. ASE, EOS and NTU host state-of-the-art
analytical facilities for petrological and geochemical analysis. This
includes EPMA, XRD, SEMs and TEMs, laser ablation and multi-collector
IC-PMS, FTIR and Raman microscopy, as well as experimental petrology
(piston cylinders and 1 atm gas-mixing) and sample preparation facilities.
EOS also maintains a regional network of geophysical and geochemical
observation stations in collaboration with neighbouring countries in
Southeast Asia, that are supported by the EOS Centre for Geohazard
Observations, as well as a Remote Sensing Lab (EOS-RS). Computational
resources are available through a dedicated cluster and collaboration with
the High Performance Computing Centre of NTU.
One of these studentships is funded by a large multidisciplinary project
called InVEST (Integrating Volcano and Earthquake Science and Technology)
that aims to look at volcanic and tectonic hazards in SE Asia.
Potential research projects could include:
â?¢ Understanding pre-eruptive timescales of large caldera forming
eruptions in SE Asia.
â?¢ Using plagioclase as an archive of the thermal and temporal evolution
of magmatic systems
â?¢ Linking diffusion timescale populations to physical models of
magmatic processes.
â?¢ Tectonic controls on the storage conditions, locations and sizes of
large explosive eruptions in SE Asia
Candidates with a strong background in geochemistry, petrology and
volcanology are encouraged to apply, but this is not a requirement.
Computational skills and prior analytical experience would be beneficial,
but can also be taught during the program.
The deadline for applications for a January 2024 start is the *31st of July
2023.*
