[iris-bulk] (Job) Graduate summer internships in volcano seismology/geodesy

[IRIS]

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 Shiveluch Volcanoes,  
Kamchatka, Russia, and Mount St Helens, Washington. The project is  
part of the National Science Foundation's program, Partnerships in  
International Research and Education (PIRE), 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  
and by contacting the relevant science team leaders below. The  
deadline for application is March 1. Selections will be made by March  
15. As required by the NSF, the competition is open only to US  
citizens or US permanent residents.
