PhD Opportunity in Re-Os Geochemistry and Stratigraphy at Colorado State University, USA

Ph.D. Opportunity in Re-Os Isotope Geochemistry and Stratigraphy of Ordovician Graptolite Zones in Newfoundland.
We seek a highly motivated and creative Ph.D. student for a multi-disciplinary project funded by NSF. Innovation and diligence combined with the ability to assimilate cross-disciplinary literature are essential. The primary goal is the Re-Os dating of graptolites in a detailed biostratigraphic context. The student will be based with the AIRIE Program at Colorado State University, with a competitive stipend for at least two years.
The Re-Os work will dovetail with field studies, sequence stratigraphy, and graptolite taxonomy spearheaded by S. Egenhoff and J. Maletz and a PhD student focused on the stratigraphy.
