Hello All, Please pass the following along to any interested students. Thanks! We are seeking one graduate PhD student for an NSF-funded project focused on understanding the impact of mafic magmatic intraplating on the evolution of lower continental crust, as exposed in northern Saskatchewan, Canada (https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2317814). The field-based project is highly multidisciplinary and involves collaborators at UMass-Amherst, Boise State University, and Washington State University. The emphasis will be on the use of petrochronology and phase equilibria modeling to constrain the timing and duration of ultrahigh temperature metamorphism and densification of lower continental crust, including their impact on seismic velocity. The position is in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. It is fully funded with a mixture of research and teaching assistantship support. Eligible students can also apply for internal fellowships. Field work begins Summer 2024. Interested students should email a resume or CV and a one-page statement of interest to Dr. Gregory Dumond at gdumond@uark.edu<mailto:gdumond@uark.edu> by October 23, 2023. A meeting about this opportunity at GSA Connects 2023 in Pittsburgh is possible on October 16-19. Meetings via Zoom are also possible. ******************* Gregory Dumond Associate Professor Department of Geosciences, University of Arkansas "No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main." --- John Donne
