Grad Student Positions in Quaternary Geology

Graduate Student Positions in Environmental Micropaleontology, University of Victoria

Two graduate student positions in marine palynology, both at PhD and MSc levels, are available at the University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Students will be working under the supervision of Dr. Vera Pospelova at the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences. Several research projects are available involving applications of palynomorphs (dinoflagellate cysts, foraminiferal organic linings, pollen) for climatic and environmental reconstructions of modern and the Late Quaternary conditions in the Pacific region. Research would include both field and laboratory components.

Applications from well-motivated students, preferably with a background in geology and/or biology and with an excellent academic standing (GPA > 6/9) will be given priority. Knowledge of palynology is desirable, but not essential. Interested individuals are encouraged to contact Dr. Pospelova as soon as possible, and submit a CV, unofficial copy of university transcripts (undergraduate and graduate as appropriate) and a brief statement of scientific interests to vpospe@uvic.ca
