Dear all, If interested, please contact Dr. Jacobs directly and pass the message on Thanks Marcela ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- Dear Friends and Colleagues: The Department of Geological Sciences at Southern Methodist University currently has four NSF-funded graduate research assistantships, to be awarded for PhD- or Master's-level study, for terrestrial paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatological reconstruction. These GRA's will support projects focused upon (1) Late Oligocene paleobotanical, sedimentological or geochemical research in northwestern Ethiopia (or a combination of these), (2) Stable isotope geochemical reconstructions of paleoclimate from paleosol profiles and fossil floras preserved in (i) Carnian-age strata from northwestern Argentina, (ii) Permo-Carboniferous strata of western Europe, central Asia and South America and (iii) Middle and Upper Permian strata of central sub-Saharan Africa, central- and southeast Asia. Research projects will include both field and laboratory studies, and will be integrated into ongoing multidisciplinary projects involving faculty and students from 11 different institutions located on 5 different continents. Because of the multi-disciplinary nature of these research projects, we are particularly interested in students with strong backgrounds in sedimentology, plant taxonomy and taphonomy, light-stable isotope geochemistry, and pedology. Please contact Drs. Bonnie Jacobs (bjacobs@smu.edu) and/or Neil Tabor (ntabor@smu.edu), Department of Geological Sciences, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX 75275-0395.
