I am recruiting a M.S. student starting in Fall 2025 on a research project related to volcanology and geochemistry. The student will have a choice of several projects focused on magma formation and storage conditions using major/trace elements, mineral chemistry, thermobarometry, radiogenic isotopes as tracers of magmatic processes, and/or geochronology. Projects will be based in southern New Mexico and the balance of field- and lab-based work can be tailored based on the interests of the student. Teaching assistantship (TA) funding is available. More information can be found at https://jthines1.wordpress.com/ *Information about the department:* The Department of Geological Sciences at New Mexico State University (NMSU) is located in Las Cruces, NM in the southern Rio Grande rift. With world-class geology right outside campus, we focus on field-based and lab-based teaching and research. The department offers B.S. and M.S. degrees in geology and consists of six faculty members active in a wide range of research topics. We host extensive analytical equipment, clean lab, rock preparation, and mineral separation facilities. More information about the department can be found at https://geology.nmsu.edu. Students must hold a bachelor’s degree in geoscience or closely related field by the time of appointment. The application should include: a personal statement, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for three references. All applications must be submitted to https://apply.nmsu.edu/apply/ for consideration. *Applications for the Fall 2025 are due on February 15, 2025*. Please direct questions to Dr. Jennifer Thines (jthines@nmsu.edu), office phone: (575) 646-3795.
