**Research Assistant in the Geological Signature of Slow Earthquakes**:
**Are you an ambitious researcher with a background in geology and microstructures? **Do you want to be part of a cutting-edge geoscience research programme?** Do you want to develop your skills in microstructural research, and equip yourself with the expertise needed to do modern structural geology?**

Prof. Sandra Piazolo leads an international effort into the geological signature of Slow Slip Earthquakes funded by NERC. Other partners include Jessica Hawthorne (Uni. Oxford), Lars Hansen (University of Minnesota, USA) and Tim Chapman (University of New England, Australia). As part of the program, a one week field trip to New Caledonia will be held in the first half of 2023. A range of data and samples will be collected in the field and samples will be supplemented by experimental samples from Lars Hansens laboratory. These samples need to be cut and prepared for in-depth analysis and subsequently analysed within the SEM and Electron Microprobe. You will also support the PI in the organization of the field trip and group meetings, and sample preparation including general thinsection and sample analyses.

You will have completed a geological science, microstructurally oriented MSc or similar and have a proven ability to deal with structural geology and geophysical data, cut and prepare samples for in-depth SEM and microprobe analysis and expertise in subsequent analysis. You will have the ability to conduct independent research and have excellent communication, planning and team working skills.

Results from this project will flow directly into a larger grant proposal as well as an international publication which you are expected to be a co-author on.
