3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 From: Jenny Suckale <jsuckale@xxxxxxxxxxxx> PhD Position in Quantitative Volcanology at Stanford University The Department of Geophysics seeks a creative individual for a fully-funded PhD position working at the interface between volcanology, physics, and applied mathematics. The project is funded by the National Science Foundation. Sometimes, the most valuable clues to understanding a complex natural process emerge at the smallest of scales. When volcanoes erupt, they eject small droplets of lava that immediately freeze, preserving tiny bubbles or crystals that have witnessed eruptive processes directly. Deciphering this testimony is not easy, partly because it is confounded by the eruption and partly because existing models at the macroscopic scale may not entail any testable predictions at the scale of individual bubbles or crystals. It is thus maybe not surprising that the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recently identified the development of multi-scale models that capture critical processes and can be tested against field data as one of the three grand challenges in modern volcanology. In this position, you will make progress towards this goal by developing customized mathematical models that advance our ability to connect different scales and are testable against existing data. Preferred Qualifications: The successful candidate will be a friendly, intelligent, self-directed individual who is excited about working on collaborative projects. A passion for understanding volcanic processes is required and a strong quantitative background in physics, applied mathematics, fluid mechanics, mechanical engineering or a similar field would be useful. The position is located in the Doerr School of Sustainability at Stanford University. How to Apply: All applications have to be submitted through the website: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://geophysics.stanford.edu/academics-admissions/admissions/application-details__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!f0_uJT37tdXMGpn5WWN1bjt4wXOw1N_2VdYGVHvEqWDOS_Nb6rGcpb_MleTN_Wu6KRhs0L5n_W6OQu7-$ For questions about the position, please contact Dr. Jenny Suckale ( jsuckale@xxxxxxxxxxxx). Stanford University is an equal-opportunity employer and we are especially eager to identify candidates with a genuine excitement for science and the persistence to pursue tough challenges, who can enrich the existing scientific debate with their unique point of view. 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 ============================================================== Volcano Listserv is a collaborative venture among Arizona State University (ASU), Portland State University (PSU), the Global Volcanism Program (GVP) of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, and the International Association for Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI).
