Graduate Opportunities in Earth
and Environmental Sciences
We have several
openings for graduate students for the Spring and Fall 2008 semesters. In addition to
teaching assistantships, research assistantships are available for top
applicants for the PhD program, both through competitive fellowships and
NSF-funded projects. Annual stipends range from $19,000 to $22,000. The
department has a strong focus on river-ocean studies that are primarily
field- and lab-based, with access to a research vessel and a variety of
analytical and computing facilities. We are particularly interested in
applicants who are excited by the many challenges faced by the
Gulf Coast in the
recovery from Hurricane Katrina. Many research opportunities are directly or
indirectly related to this; particular strengths are in sedimentology,
stratigraphy, marine geology, paleoclimatology, neotectonics, isotope
geochemistry, and environmental geochemistry. There are also opportunities
in structural geology, paleontology, petrology, and volcanology. Applicants
that provide a clear statement of research interests and career goals will
be considered with the greatest interest. Applications should be submitted
online at
http://www.sse.tulane.edu/pages/graduate.php and should include a CV, transcripts,
GRE scores, TOEFL scores (for international applicants), and three
recommendation forms. More information about
the department can be obtained via our website (www.tulane.edu/~eens/)
and from Dr. Karen Johannesson -
kjohanne@tulane.edu.
Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.
