Ph.D. research assistantship positions available in Thermochronology and Tectonics at the University of Kansas For the academic year 2005-2006, the (U-Th)/He thermochronology research group at the University of Kansas is seeking motivated Ph.D. students in the fields of thermochronology and tectonics. Current funding for research assistantships is available for the following projects: (1) Erosional exhumation of the Colorado Plateau; a funded project integrating (U-Th)/He thermochronometry and quantitative landscape evolution in collaboration with NM Tech, UNM, and Utah State. (2) Tertiary rift tectonics and exhumation of the Red Sea margin in Saudi Arabia. Multiple projects combining structural geology, sedimentology, geomorphology, and geo- and thermochronology in collaboration with the Saudi Geological Survey and University of Pennsylvania. (3) Development and calibration of rutile (U-Th)/He thermochronometry and its application to high-pressure metamorphic rocks. We are looking for highly motivated and enthusiastic students with a strong quantitative background. All applications will be considered, but preference will most likely be given those students who have completed a M.S. and/or have hands-on experience in thermochronology or noble gas geochemistry. Feel free to forward this message to anybody who might be interested.
