School of Earth and Environmental Sciences at University of Wollongong offers PhD Scholarship in Geochemistry for Australian and International Students at Wollongong Isotope Geochronology Lab, Australia 2012
Study Subject(s):Geochemistry
Course Level:PhD
Scholarship Provider: School of Earth and Environmental Sciences at University of Wollongong
Scholarship can be taken at: Australia
Eligibility:
-A strong knowledge in (geo)chemistry is required, as well as comfortable knowledge in mathematics
-You must be keen on laboratory work
-You must have a Master or B.Sci. with Honours 1st class, or equivalent. You must also have already published a paper
-You will be first applying to be short-listed. If you are selected, you will then be applying at the University level.
Scholarship Open for International Students: Yes
Scholarship Description: In order to predict how our water and soil resources will be able to cope with future climate change, we can study sedimentary records to decipher how the landscape has responded to past climate variability. This project will use isotope geochemistry to re–construct variations in chemical weathering (which shapes the global carbon cycle), soil erosion and sediment transport in rivers. Isotopic systems used will be lithium, boron or uranium-series isotopes, which all provide different constraints on Earth surface processes.You will integrate the Wollongong Isotope Geochronology Lab led by Dr Anthony Dosseto and currently already composed of several international PhD students. You will have access to a brand new clean laboratory facility with all the equipments required for your project.
Value: The PhD scholarship covers tuition fees and includes a living allowance.
How to Apply: By Online
