Dear All, One of my Old Pals Net from Oz has just sent me a message
requesting suggestions for a Ph.D candidate at JCU, Townsville, Australia.
Since this is the premier Oz research institution at the moment I thought
that someone out there might be interested. So I copy below the letter and
leave it to you to cxhase if you wish.
All the best, Nick.

Nick Oliver of James Cook University is looking for a good Ph.D student to
carry out economic geology research in Finnish Lapland. Funding is
available. If you have any names to suggest please get in touch with Nick.
His message is attached.

Hi all,
with the current state of the minerals industry you may know of
someone who has recently lost a job that could be interested in this
excellent PhD opportunity. I'd be grateful if you could pass this on to
colleagues or former colleagues who might be in a position to contemplate a
minerals-oriented research project at the top of the world:
Funding is very likely to become available shortly from the Geological
Survey of Finland (GTK) to provide comprehensive analytical and logistical
support for a PhD project in economic/structural geology in Finnish
Lapland. The project has a gold ± copper focus, and the area is centred
approximately 150 km north of the Arctic Circle in the Central Lapland
Greenstone belt of northern Finland. Manipulating the map search facility
at http://www.gsf.fi/explor/gtk_exploration_economic.htm
and selecting an area several cm north of Rovaniemi on your screen will
show you the extent of existing mines and prospects. The geology involves
Yilgarn-style greenstone belts with an eastern Mt Isa style albitic
alteration overprint; existing mineralzation is associated with potassic
alteration and well defined local structural, lithological and geophysical
associations.
The project can have a focus anywhere in the spectrum covered by the
following two themes:
a) Fluid chemical controls on gold mineralization + related alteration in
the Central Finland greenstone belt
b) Structural controls on fluid flow and gold mineralization in the Central
Lapland Greenstone Belt
The project is open to excellent students likely to be awarded an APA in
the 2000 round, applications for which close at the end of October. The
position is also available for exceptional overseas students, but
applications for this will have to be processed very quickly to meet the
Sept 30 overseas student scholarship deadlines.
Possible project aims and methods are available from Nick Oliver by
email request; these are currently being discussed by the partners in this
collaboration (JCU/EGRU and GTK). The student should have good
communication skills, a very good to excellent academic record, and a
desire to work in a foreign country (English is widely spoken by Finns).
The student would join two JCU students who started work on Cu-Zn-related
projects in central Finland in 1999, although these students are working
several 100 km to the south of Lapland.
Please send expressions of interest to me ASAP as securing funding is
partly dependent on securing a quality applicant for this project.
