Dear colleagues:
Thank you for passing this information on to interested candidates!
A Ph.D. position is available in the Institute of Mineralogy and Geochemistry
at the Universityof Lausanne, beginning October 1, 2003. The project
combines thermal modeling with U-Th/He, fission track, and Ar-Ar
geochronology to constrain the late uplift history of one of the major
granitic massifs in the Swiss Alps. This project represents a unique
opportunity to combine significant field, laboratory, and theoretical work.
The Earth Sciences Department in Lausanne hosts state-of-the-art
laboratories including stable and radiogenic isotopes, electron microprobe,
SEM, XRF, XRD, X-ray tomography, and ICP-MS. In addition,
excellent library and computing facilities are available. The Ph.D. is
financed by the Swiss National Science Foundation for up to four
years provided adequate results are demonstrated. The equivalent of a
Diploma (Master) degree in Geology is required. Interested candidates
should send a letter of interest together with a copy of their degree
certificate, academic transcripts, and two letters of reference to:
Dr. Michael Cosca, Institute of Mineralogy and Geochemistry,
University of Lausanne, BFSH-2, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland.
