Dear all,
We are advertising a four-year fully-funded PhD position in Zircon Petrology at VU Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The student will use a combination of experimental and metamorphic petrology to improve constraints on the use of zircon crystals as thermobarometers
in metamorphic and magmatic processes. You will develop a zircon trace element thermobarometer and validate it using UHP metamorphic rocks. The project will be carried out under supervision of Dr. Fraukje Brouwer (Metamorphic Petrology) and Prof. Wim van Westrenen
(Experimental Petrology) with an extensive international team of collaborators.
Please feel free to contact me for more information. The deadline for applications is 3 March, 2019 and the position is available from then.
I would appreciate it if this announcement could be passed on to potential applicants.
Best wishes,
Fraukje
