Dear MSA Advisors, I am looking for a motivated masters-level student to start this fall at New Mexico State University in conducting Ra/Th analyses of single feldspars from young eruptions in the Azores islands. He or she will gain experience isolating and analyzing single crystals for a range of isotopes including Sr, Pb, and U, Th, and Ra using a class 1000 cleanroom. They will also learn to operate a thermal ionization mass spectrometer (TIMS) and a multi-collector inductively coupled mass spectrometer (MC-ICPMS). The candidate will also participate in a DOE training program that will prepare them for potential national lab-related employment. The successful candidate will need to be a US citizen. Interested students can contact me at framos@nmsu.edu<mailto:framos@nmsu.edu> or apply at https://gradschool.nmsu.edu/future-students/. Teaching Assistant support will be available for the student as well as potential summer support. This is a great opportunity for those interested in obtaining DOE-funded, national lab jobs while undertaking cutting-edge research using U-series isotopes. Frank C. Ramos Professor and Johnson Chair of Geochemistry Dept. of Geological Sciences New Mexico State University 1255 N Horseshoe Las Cruces, NM 88011 framos@nmsu.edu<mailto:framos@nmsu.edu>
