Dear all, The Mantle Processes Group at the University of Delaware is looking for enthusiastic students to join the graduate program in the Department of Earth Sciences in Fall 2025. Positions are open to students of any nationality and will be fully funded through a combination of research and teaching assistantships. Research will be focused on geochemical and/or deformation processes in the mantle, using field-based observations combined with sample analyses. Available projects include: (1) investigating melting, melt transport, and hydrothermal processes in the lithospheric mantle; (2) evaluating water in nominally anhydrous minerals in peridotites; (3) identifying the mechanisms causing creep in transform faults; and (4) exploring the intersection of volcanism and faulting at mid-ocean ridges. Field opportunities include a month-long research cruise in late 2025 to the Chain transform fault in the equatorial Atlantic. Further information on graduate positions in the Mantle Processes Group is available at http://www.jessicamwarren.com/. Interested applicants should contact Prof. Jessica Warren (warrenj@udel.edu) after reviewing this information. Applications must be submitted through the UD online portal ( https://grad.udel.edu/apply/). Some applicants are eligible to request an application fee waiver ( https://grad.udel.edu/fees-and-funding/application-fee/). Priority will be given to applications received by Jan 5, 2025. Best regards, Jessica --------------------------------------- Professor Jessica M. Warren Department of Earth Sciences University of Delaware www.jessicamwarren.com
