>>Dear Listmembers, >> We have available a PhD fellowship as described below. I would >>greatly appreciate it if you could bring this to the attention of any >>interested students. Thank you very much. >> >>Stephen Burns >> >>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ >> >>Doctoral Fellowship - Isotope Paleoclimatology >>University of Bern, Switzerland >> >>A Ph.D. Fellowship is available for study of climate change in the southern >>Arabian Peninsula. The project involves using stable isotopes and U/Th dating >>techniques on speolothems collected from caves in Oman and Yemen to interpret >>the effects of past variations in the Indian Ocean monsoon system on >>continental >>climate. The work is a collaboration between the Geologisches Intitute in >>Bern, >>Switzerland, where stable isotope analyses will be done, and the University of >>Heidelberg, Germany, where the U/Th dating will be done. The project will >>include both field and laboratory work. >> >>Candidates with backgrounds in geology, environmental physics or chemistry are >>encouraged to apply. An MS degree (for candidates from North America) or >>Diploma (European candidates) is necessary. Laboratory experience, >>particularly >>familiarity with TIMS isotope techniques, is highly desirable. >> >>The assistantship includes a stipend and covers all tuition and fees for the >>duration of the project, which is expected to be 3 years. Starting date >>would be summer/fall 1997. >> >>For additional information, or to apply contact: >> >> Dr. Stephen J.
