GEOCHEMISTRY GRADUATE PROJECTS |
Name: Dr. Penny King Email: penny.king@uwo.ca Organization: Univ. Western Ontario Date: 03 Apr 2002 Time: 16:12:54 Job_Description: GEOCHEMISTRY GRADUATE PROJECTS Masters and doctoral students are sought for geochemistry research projects in the "Experimental Analysis Laboratory", Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Western Ontario, Canada. Several projects that involve field, analytical and/or experimental techniques are available. Specific projects include investigations of partitioning of volatiles between fluid and melts, and investigations of diffusion kinetics in materials, with application to igneous and environmental processes. More details may be found at www.uwo.ca/earth/king. The "Experimental Analysis Laboratory" was renovated recently to include two high-pressure piston-cylinders, two high temperature furnaces, and a gas-mixing, rapid-quench furnace. The lab also contains a micro-Fourier Transform infrared spectrometer with a custom-built gas-mixing heating stage. Students will have access to state-of-the-art analytical facilities at the university (e.g., micro-XRD, SIMS, TOF-SIMS, FE-SEM, micro-Raman, micro-XPS, Auger, AFM, electron microprobe and stable isotope lines). The University of Western Ontario has a strong tradition in geochemistry and collaborative projects may be available with several faculty. Further details about the department and the available facilities may be found at http://www.uwo.ca/earth. The entering graduate students will learn techniques that are applicable to positions in industry, academia and government. Graduate students at the University of Western Ontario receive a minimum salary of $17,000 per year, typically composed of monies paid for work as a teaching assistant and supplemented by research funds. Review of applicants will commence immediately, until the positions are filled. The application requirements are outlined on the department web page: http://www.uwo.ca/earth/grad/index2.htm. Students who might be interested in these projects may have undergraduate degrees in Geology, Environmental Science, Chemistry, Materials Science, or Engineering.
