Kingston University (London) School of Earth Sciences and Geography Two PhD studentships in Geodynamics and Crustal Processes The Geodynamics and Crustal Processes Research Group has two PhD Research Studentships tenable from September 2002. Each studentship will be linked to one of the projects listed below, according to the interests and qualifications of the successful candidates. If you have, or expect to obtain in 2002, a good honours degree (1st or 2:1, or equivalent) in Geology, Earth Science or another relevant discipline, you may apply by sending your curriculum vitae, names of two academic referees and a letter, explaining your interest in one (or more) of these projects, to the appropriate first supervisor at the: School of Earth Sciences & Geography, Kingston University, Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey KT1 2EE, UK (Tel. +44 (0)20 8547 2000). Further details of the projects can be obtained direct from the first supervisor. General information about the School is available on our web site at http://www.kingston.ac.uk Our PhD studentship awards are for 3 years, and cover a maintenance grant (currently of £9250, including London allowance), full fees for qualifying UK or EU residents, and a general support package for fieldwork, analytical costs and conference attendance. Applicants from outside the EU would need to be able to pay an extra £5195 p.a. for overseas fees. For overseas candidates with 1st class honours degrees (or equivalents), there would be the possibility of funding, from ORSAS, to cover the extra fees in the second and third years of the project. The closing date for applications is 15th July 2002. (1) Magmatic arc fault systems and attachment-detachment zones in the lithosphere of the central Andes (northern Chile).
