*2) Faculty Position in Experimental Earth Science - Department of
Earth & Environmental Sciences and the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory
of Columbia University*

The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences seeks applicants for
a faculty position in Experimental Earth Science, at any rank from
tenure-track assistant professor through full professor with tenure. We
seek candidates who apply experimental laboratory approaches to the
understanding of natural processes. We are open to a broad set of
research topics relating to the application of chemical thermodynamics
and reaction kinetics over a wide range of temperature and pressure,
from the Earth's crust to its deep interior. Examples of appropriate
subjects include experimental igneous/metamorphic petrology, fluid-rock
interaction, hydrothermal systems, geochemical environment of the early
Earth, origins of life, natural resources, hydrocarbon reactions at
elevated temperatures and pressures, chemical and physical volcanology.
The successful candidate will be expected to teach foundational courses
that support the discipline.
Minimum requirements are demonstrated scientific creativity and
potential to build and sustain an innovative research program, a Ph.D.
in a geoscience-related field, and capability to teach at undergraduate

*4) Postdoctoral Fellowship and Graduate Fellowship -- University of
Rhode Island / Smithsonian*

We are seeking candidates to join our research team and work
collaboratively on an NSF-GeoPRISMS funded project to explore the
influences of water, oxygen fugacity, and composition on calc-alkaline
differentiation, with a focus on the Alaska-Aleutian Arc. Two
opportunities are available:

(1) Graduate Research Fellowship in Geochemistry. We are currently
seeking a PhD student to participate in a multi-disciplinary study of
magmatic oxidation state and its relationship to calc-alkaline
differentiation and formation of continental crust in the Aleutian arc,
with emphasis on the records preserved by natural lavas and melt
inclusions. Funding is available for a minimum of three years of study
toward a PhD in oceanography at the University of Rhode Island, Graduate
School of Oceanography, with joint work to be done at the National
Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution. The student will be
jointly mentored by Drs. Katherine Kelley (URI/GSO) and Elizabeth
Cottrell (NMNH/Smithsonian). The student will have the opportunity to
develop skills and new techniques in microanalytics (XANES, LAICPMS,
EMP, FTIR), providing a broad education and research base in
petrology/geochemistry. Graduate applications for URI/GSO are on-line at
http://www.gso.uri.edu/academics/apply and applicants are encouraged to
submit their applications by 15 January, 2014. Applicants attending AGU
in 2013 are encouraged to contact Dr. Kelley at kelley<at>gso.uri.edu to
arrange an in-person interview.

(2) Postdoctoral fellowship in experimental petrology based in the
Department of Mineral Sciences at the Smithsonian Institution --
National Museum of Natural History (NMNH). Two years of support are
available. The successful candidate will work collaboratively with the
team on all aspects of the project with primary responsibility for
carrying out an experimental program related to calc-alkaline
differentiation at moderate pressures (~2 kb) using Mo-Hf-C alloy
cold-seal pressure vessels. The postdoc will also have the opportunity
to develop skills in microanalytics (XANES, LAICPMS, EMP, FTIR).
Applicants should send a cover letter, CV, graduate transcript
(unofficial transcripts accepted), and the names and email addresses of
three references to Liz Cottrell at CottrellE<at>si.edu. Applicants should
indicate in their cover letter the date by which they anticipate having
their doctoral degree conferred. Review of applications will begin on
January 30th but individuals attending AGU in 2013 are encouraged to
contact us in advance to arrange a meeting. The Smithsonian is an equal
opportunity employer.
