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.
