Petrology

http://gps.alaska.edu/PIRE
The University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) announces the availability of paid summer internships for U.S. graduate students from U.S. universities in seismology, crustal deformation, igneous petrology, and physical volcanology. Successful applicants will become members of a US-Russia-Japan team comparing the response of crustal magma systems to catastrophic decompression at Bezymianny and Sheveluch Volcanoes, Kamchatka, Russia, and Mount St Helens, Washington. The 5-year project is part of the National Science Foundation’s program, Partnerships in International Research and Education (PIRE), which seeks to introduce US graduate students to iinternationally collaborative science. The ideal student participant will be at an early or middle stage of her or his PhD program, be physically and mentally prepared for rigorous field investigations under difficult conditions, and have a strong interest in international collaboration and understanding. It is also desirable that the student’s major advisor share an interest in the research and, although not a requirement, that the work can become a component of the student’s PhD program. The deadline for application has passed and was March 15, 2008. Selections were be made by April 1. Stayed tuned for 2009 info.

If you complete this application, even if you don't plan to join, it is still the best way to figure out what you have done, want to do, and how to convince someone you should be the one to do it. They ask for the employment details of the last 10 years of your life! Also, a lot of graduate programs work in conjunction with Peace Corps tours of duty, check it out, esp. the one at Michigan Tech (see right below)!
