[iris-bulk] Graduate summer internships in volcano seismology (UAF)

[IRIS]

U.S.-Russia-Japan Partnership for Research and Education in Volcanology

The University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) announces the availability of  
paid summer internships for U.S. graduate students from U.S.  
universities in seismology, crustal deformation, igneous petrology,  
and physical volcanology. Successful applicants will become members of  
a US-Russia-Japan team comparing the response of crustal magma systems  
to catastrophic decompression at Bezymianny and Sheveluch Volcanoes,  
Kamchatka, Russia, and Mount St Helens, Washington. The field  
component of the project is focused on a research grade seismic  
network at Bezymianny volcano in collaboration with Russian  
colleagues. The current network of 8 broadband and several telemetered  
short-period stations will be further expanded this year. The 5-year  
project is part of the National Science Foundation’s Partnerships in  
International Research and Education (PIRE) program, which seeks to  
introduce US graduate students to internationally collaborative  
science. The ideal student participant will be at an early or middle  
stage of her or his PhD program, be physically and mentally prepared  
for rigorous field investigations under difficult conditions, and have  
a strong interest in international collaboration and understanding. It  
is also desirable that the student’s major advisor share an interest  
in the research and, although not a requirement, that the work can  
become a component of the student’s PhD program. Complete announcement  
and application forms can be obtained at http://gps.alaska.edu/PIRE.  
Students are encouraged to contacting the relevant science team leader  
below with any questions. The deadline for application is March 15.  
Selections will be made by April 1.
