Dear All,



I am recruiting two Ph.D. students at the Geology and Geophysics department at Louisiana State University starting in the Fall of 2025. There are two projects available in the MO.S.A.I.C. research group (Metamorphism, Structure, and Isotope Chronology) broadly related to subduction zone processes and fluid rock interactions during mantle exhumation. More specifically:



One project will focus on reconciling the geophysical observations of slow slip and tremor with geologic and rheological constraints. The project will involve a significant component of fieldwork in the Franciscan, California, (and if desired by the student in the Cyclades, Greece), geochronology/geochemistry, metamorphic petrology, and structural work.

The second project will focus on the feedback between deformation and fluid/rock interactions during mantle exhumation. This project will utilize existing samples collected during IODP Expedition 402 in the Tyrrhenian Sea. The project will involve geochronology/geochemistry, microstructural work, and stable isotope analyses.



More information about the application process can be found here: https://www.lsu.edu/science/geology/graduate_students/graduate_admissions/index.php

Please note that the deadline is on January 1st.



Feel free to forward this email to anyone who might be interested. Interested applicants can contact me at epoulaki at lsu.edu<mailto:epoulaki at lsu.edu>, please include a CV, why this opportunity is of interest, and any questions about the position. Lastly, I will be at AGU and be happy to chat in person about these positions!



All the best,

Eirini
