From: Helena Albert <hln.albert@xxxxxxxxx>
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce an exciting PhD scholarship opportunity associated
with a research project titled "VARIATIONS IN THE ERUPTIVE DYNAMICS AND
UNREST TIMESCALES IN ACTIVE MONOGENETIC VOLCANIC FIELDS (DYNAMICS)".
The PhD project will focus on the American Southwest Volcanic Field. The
main tasks of the PhD student will include participation in field campaigns
in the ASVF, where she/he will learn the basics of volcano stratigraphy.
The student will be trained in the use of geochemical, petrological, and
microanalytical techniques. Diffusion chronology models will be performed
on selected mineral phases to assess the time intervals between changes in
conduit dynamics and the eruption of volcanic products. The student will
also learn about numerical simulations as part of a complementary formation
plan. Additionally, the PhD student will conduct two international research
stays with members of the working team in Italy.
- *Key Details:*
- *Duration*: 4 years
- *Location*: Faculty of Earth Sciences, University of Barcelona,
Spain.
- *Application Deadline*: September 1, 2024
- *Application Requirements*: *CV to be sent to halbert@xxxxxx
<halbert@xxxxxx>*
- *Interview Period*: *Selected candidates will be notified by email
and will have an online interview between September 2 and 6, 2024*.
- *Requirements:*
- *Degree*: Geology or Earth Sciences.
- *Preferred Experience*: Petrology and geochemistry of volcanic
rocks. Previous experience in diffusion chronology will also be valued.
- *Language*: Spanish or Catalan is not required but is expected to
be learned over the 4 years.
The FPI 2024 call for predoctoral training grants related to these projects
will be published during the week of September 2-6, 2024. Selected
candidates from the interview will need to verify their eligibility for the
PhD scholarship.
- *Application Submission:*
- *Deadline*: September 9-27, 2024, until 2:00 PM (Barcelona time).
If you know someone who would be a good fit for this opportunity, please
encourage them to apply.
