I am recruiting one MS student to join the Geology Department at Western Washington University, starting in Fall 2024!

The student will work with me on a NSF-funded tectonics research project in northeast India. The project will involve geologic mapping, structural analysis, and thermochronology in collaboration with Karl Lang (GA Tech), and Kip Hodges (ASU). Applicants should be eager to undertake field-intensive structural geology research. Undergraduate mapping and/or research experience will be considered favorably when reviewing applications. Interested applicants should explore the Geology Department website https://geology.wwu.edu and graduate program application information https://geology.wwu.edu/prospective-graduate-students. The position will be supported by TA and RA appointments. January 15 is the application deadline to qualify for TA support. Contact me with any questions!
