gas-mixing, rapid-quench furnace. The lab also contains a micro-Fourier
Transform infrared spectrometer with a custom-built gas-mixing heating
stage. Students will have access to state-of-the-art analytical
facilities at the university (e.g., micro-XRD, SIMS, TOF-SIMS, FE-SEM,
micro-Raman, micro-XPS, Auger, AFM, electron microprobe and stable
isotope lines). The University of Western Ontario has a strong tradition
in geochemistry and collaborative projects may be available with several
faculty. Further details about the department and the available
facilities may be found at http://www.uwo.ca/earth.
The entering graduate students will learn techniques that are applicable

Job_Description:
Dr. Roberta Flemming at the Department of Earth Sciences at University of Western Ontario
has four openings for M.Sc. or Ph.D. candidates interested in pursuing fundamental or
applied studies of minerals in the following areas:
1. Fundamental understanding and quantification of mineral behavior as a function of
pressure (P), temperature (T) and composition (X). Projects will involve mineral synthesis
(at high PT), and determination of crystal structure (by X-ray diffraction/Rietveld
refinement), crystal chemistry (by EPMA), and cation ordering (X-ray diffraction and NMR
give long-range and short-range cation ordering information, respectively). 29Si NMR
provides a measure of Si/Al disorder in aluminosilicates, which cannot be discerned by
X-ray methods. Aluminous pyroxenes are the subject of ongoing research (Am. Min. 87:25, 2002).
A wide variety of other minerals are also of interest.
2. Development of minerals as geothermobarometers, or indicators of T and P of rock
formation, through the systematic variation of their chemical and crystallographic parameters.
Cation partitioning between minerals, and cation ordering within minerals, are both functions
of P-T-X. Understanding the relationship between intercrystalline and intracrystalline cation
distributions will help us to understand the thermal history of important rock types such as
eclogites, peridotites, kimberlites, carbonatites, and ultra-high-pressure metamorphic rocks.
Currently of interest are garnet-clinopyroxene equilibria, olivine-spinel equilibria,
two-pyroxene systems, and exsolution phenomena.
3. Development of X-ray diffraction/Rietveld modal analysis as a tool for geologists.
At present, X-ray diffraction is underutilized in the areas of mineral exploration and mineral
processing. This pilot project will involve testing X-ray diffraction/Rietveld modal analysis
as a tool for monitoring mineral extraction methods, using samples provided by participating
Canadian industries.
4. Development of X-ray microdiffraction as a tool for geologists. A CFI-funded
microdiffractometer will provide a unique opportunity to correlate crystal structural information
with chemical and spectroscopic data on a grain-by-grain basis, on a microscopic scale (30-50 um)
not previously available routinely. A variety of projects are envisaged, such as X-ray
identification of ~{!.~}diamond indicator minerals~{!/~} (e.g. G-10 garnet) by correlation of
diffraction data to geochemical data.
Facilities available at UWO include a Bruker DISCOVER X-ray diffractometer-
microdiffractometer with 2D area detector and videomicroscope (Flemming CFI- arriving in May 2002),
Varian 400 MHz solid-state NMR spectrometer (Chemistry), two high-T synthesis laboratories
(Flemming and Fleet), two high-pressure laboratories (King and Secco), as well as EPMA, FTIR,
and XRF facilities in Earth Sciences, and XPS, AFM, SEM and SIMS facilities at Surface Science
Western. If you wish to obtain more information about these projects, or other possible projects,
please contact Dr. Roberta Flemming (519-661-3143, rflemmin@uwo.ca). Collaborative projects with
other faculty members are also possible. Research and teaching assistantships are guaranteed for
qualified students. Additional information can be obtained by visiting the Department of Earth
Sciences website at http://www.uwo.ca/earth.

PhD or Postdoc research in Switzerland
Hydrothermal Geochemistry
Magmatic-hydrothermal Ore Deposits
Laser-Ablation ICP Mass Spectrometry
The Fluids and Ore Deposits Group at ETH Zürich (Switzerland) has
immediate funding for a PhD or Postdoctoral research project on
magmatic-hydrothermal processes, involving the application and further
development of LA-ICPMS micro-analysis to fluid and melt inclusions in
minerals. We are looking for a geoscientist with an interest in
petrology, geochemistry or economic geology and some experience in
analytical techniques.
Our research aims at understanding and quantifying the fundamental
processes of metal and volatile transport from magma chambers to
porphyry-style and epithermal ore deposits, which is relevant to
resource geology as well as volcanology. Key processes include the
physical and chemical interactions between silicate melts, saline
brines, low-density vapour fluids and precipitating minerals. To explore
these, we are combining quantitative field geology, the development of
new isotopic and microanalytical techniques, and advanced
computer-simulation of fluid-transport processes.
This project will combine field work in collaboration with colleagues in
Romania (the Apuseni Mountains Cu-Au-Te province), and microanalysis of
fluid and melt using the latest instrumentation of Excimer Laser
Ablation in conjunction with Dynamic Reaction Cell ICP-MS. The ideal
candidate will be a versatile geoscientist with at least an MSc or
equivalent degree, who would like to develop his interest in new
geochemical lab techniques with a novel application to ore-deposit
geology and petrology. However, we will also consider applications from
geochemists interested mainly in the analytical side. We offer a lively
international teaching and research environment with outstanding lab
facilities, in one of Europe¹s largest Earth Science departments. The
PhD scholarship is 1800-2000 SFr per month (after deductions), and PhD
programmes at ETH normally take about three years. Postdoc salaries are
about twice this amount.
The position is available immediately. For additional information,
please have a look at www.erdw.ethz.ch/institutes/iimr/iimr.html or
contact Prof. Chris Heinrich (ph. +41 1 632 6851, heinrich@

FURTHER DETAILS
1. The University of Bristol
The University of Bristol is situated in the centre of the city and
offers a stimulating academic environment with centres of excellence in
all 6 Faculties (Arts, Engineering, Law, Medicine, Science and Social
Sciences). The University has a total of approximately 11,000 students
with an expanding European education commitment and active postgraduate
teaching programmes. Demand for undergraduate places is very strong; in
the last year, for instance, all places were filled with highly
qualified applicants without the need for Clearing. There is an
ambitious programme for expansion with a major "Campaign for Resource"
to facilitate future developments, which has brought some 60M of
external investment to the University over the last 7 years. In the
1996 Research Assessment Exercise the University achieved ratings of 4
or 5 in 36 of the 43 units submitted, making it one of the highest rated
research Universities in the UK.
2. The Faculty of Science
Science is the largest Faculty in the University with over 2,500
undergraduates, 600 postgraduates and 400 teaching and research staff.
It consists of the Departments of Agricultural Sciences, Biological
Sciences, Chemistry, Geographical Sciences, Earth Sciences, Mathematics,
Physics and Experimental Psychology, as well as the pre-clinical
Departments of Anatomy, Biochemistry, Physiology, Pharmacology, and
Pathology and Microbiology. It also includes the University Research
Centres of Glaciology, Molecular Recognition, Biogeochemistry, Interface
Analysis, Physics and Engineering Research in Medicine, Remote Sensing,
Behavioural Biology, and Environmental and Geophysical Flows.
In the 1996 Research Assessment Exercise, the Faculty received one of
the highest ratings in the country, with the Science Departments of
Psychology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, and Earth Sciences
receiving a 5, and Geographical Sciences a 5*. The pre-clinical
Departments of Physiology, Biochemistry, and Pharmacology were also
rated 5, and the other two were 4. This provides a very strong
environment for collaborative research, enhanced by the location of the
departments within the University's main precinct.
3. The Department of Earth Sciences
The Department is situated in the Wills Memorial Building, the historic
centre of the campus. There are currently 23 academic and related staff
(including 5 professors, 1 reader, 3 senior lecturers, 5 lecturers, and
2 Royal Society University Research Fellows), and 9 technical staff.
The Department runs single honours BSc and MSci degrees in Geology and a
BSc in Environmental Geoscience with a total intake of almost 60
students per year, and takes advantage of strong links with other
departments to run joint degree courses with Biology and Archaeology.
There are about 20 postdoctoral fellows and research assistants.
(http://www.gly.bris.ac.uk/)
4. Teaching and learning
The department currently has over 50 postgraduate students reading for
PhDs and 12 students taking the MSc in Palaeobiology. At the
undergraduate level it runs single honours BSc and MSci degrees in
Geology and a BSc in Environmental Geoscience with a total intake of 50
to 60 students per year, as well as joint degree courses with Biology
and Archaeology.
5. Research
The Department is renowned internationally for its research and has
particular strengths in volcanology, experimental geochemistry,
palaeontology, and biogeochemistry - geomicrobiology. There are
excellent research and analytical facilities, and the department
accommodates the European Union facility for Anaytical Geochemistry, and
the University Research Centres in Biogeochemistry, and Environmental
and Geophysical Flows. There are strong links with the School of
Chemistry, particularly the Organic Geochemistry Unit, and the
Department of Mathematics. The department has recently acquired a
laser-ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (LA-ICP-MS)
through a successful bid to the Joint Research Equipment Initiative
(JREI) of the HEFCE.
The posts
The successful candidates will be internationally renowned earth
scientists with an outstanding record in research and academic
leadership (in the case of a senior appointment) or proven potential (in
the case of a lectureship). An important consideration is how the
appointments will extend the breadth of the department's research
profile. We are seeking individuals with a research interest in
environmental geoscience, geochemistry (including biogeochemistry),
geophysics, or tectonics (including structural and regional geology).
The appointees will be expected to participate, as appropriate, in the
teaching and examination of undergraduate and of postgraduate students.
They will also be expected to undertake administrative duties as
directed by the Head of Department.

Job_Description:
Please encourage students interested in lab and field-oriented hard-rock
petrology to apply for a research assistantship (a full tuition waiver and
$10,900 academic year stipend) toward a M.Sc. degree at Vanderbilt
University to work on the project described below:
Laboratory and Field Investigations of Monazite Paragenesis, Growth
Kinetics, Textural Development, and U-Th-Pb Chronometry in Igneous and
High-Grade Metamorphic Rocks
Monazite grains in igneous and high-grade metamorphic rocks often contain
multiple growth zones that yield U,Th-Pb dates corresponding to multiple
events in the history of a rock. The proposed lab and field experiments are
designed to characterize monazite growth and recrystallization. In-situ
measurements of textural features, ages, and compositions of growth zones in
natural monazites collected from regions with well-characterized histories
(a pluton in southern Nevada, metamorphic terranes in North Carolina and
California) will help to establish the timing and conditions of monazite
growth. Lab experiments conducted under similar conditions will quantify
growth mechanisms and rates and corroborate textural interpretations of
zoning in natural monazites. Because growth and recrystallization often
appears to be related to fluid influx, experiments on rocks containing
monazite and fluid will help to identify characteristic textural features of
hydrothermal growth and recrystallization including crystal size
distributions, zoning patterns, inclusion/host relations, and wetting
angles. The dependence of these features on fluid composition, host grain
size and coarsening rate, and temperature will also be investigated to
identify conditions of growth of natural monazites. Results will refine
interpretations of texture and zoning in natural monazites and the
correlation of measured U,Th-Pb monazite ages with specific geochemical and
tectonic events.

Job_Description:
Doctoral Student Opportunities / Petrology, Geochemistry, and Isotope Geochemistry.
The research group Isotopes-Petrology-Environment of the Department of
Earth and Environmental Sciences at ULB has received funding for a
multi-year project on the evolution of the Kerguelen mantle plume, southern
Indian Ocean. Two 4-year positions for doctoral students are available and
applications are invited to start on November 1, 1998, or as soon
thereafter as possible.
The Kerguelen plume has a long-lived 115 million year volcanic record that
includes the formation of a very large oceanic plateau or Large Igneous
Province (Kerguelen Plateau - 115-85 Ma) associated with plume initiation,
a 5000 km hotspot track (Ninetyeast Ridge - 82-38 Ma) that formed as the
Indian Plate moved northwards over the plume, and recently active oceanic
islands (Kergeulen Archipelago and Heard Island, <40 Ma) on the Antarctic
Plate. The archipelago is the third largest oceanic island after Hawaii
and Iceland and the plume has played a major role in contributing to the
geochemical and isotopic character of Indian Ocean MORB.
The dissertation projects will involve detailed petrology and geochemistry
of basaltic lava sequences exposed on the Kerguelen Archipelago sampled
during a long-term mapping program with two field seasons remaining, or
drilled on the submarine Kerguelen Plateau during the upcoming ODP Leg 183,
Dec. 1998 - Jan. 1999. The projects will require characterization of
mineral chemical variations, whole rock major and trace element
geochemistry, and isotope geochemistry of age-constrained stratigraphic
sections to better understand the evolution of plume-derived magmas in
high-level magma chambers or during ascent, and the melting histories in a
major mantle plume environment.
Brussels, the capital of the European Community, provides a multi-cultural
environment in which to live, with easy access to the major cities and
countryside of western Europe. English and French are the working
languages. After tax salary is about US$15,000 per year and complete
health coverage is provided.
