M.Sc. student opportunity at the University of Puerto Rico 2012:
Speleothems and Caribbean hydrologic and paleo-climate variability
spanning the last two millennia.
The Department of Geology, University of Puerto Rico at Mayag?ez
<http://geology.uprm.edu/>
is seeking a well-qualified M.Sc. candidate to work on an NSF-funded
project to characterize Caribbean hydrologic and paleo-climate
variability spanning the last two millennia. A network of speleothems
and Cariaco Basin data will be used in an international collaboration
among the University of Puerto Rico, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory
of Columbia University, Stony Brook University, and the University of
Heidelberg.
An ideal applicant will have an undergraduate degree in physical
sciences (preferably geology) and be keenly interested and motivated
to work on an exciting project dealing with climate change. S/he
should have experience with scientific programming and
instrumentation, and be involved in both field collection and
laboratory analysis. Being bilingual (Spanish/English) is an asset but
not required. There will also be opportunities to engage in our
educational outreach activities.
The position starts summer, 2011 and will run at least two years.
Candidates should send a complete CV, a statement of interest, copies
of academic certificates, names and emails of three referees to Dr.
