Graduate Student Opportunities at the University of Hawaii

The Department of Earth Sciences in the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST), University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa has opportunities for Ph.D. or M.S. students starting in Fall 2024.  Successful candidates will join a dynamic group of scientists tackling diverse research problems and pressing issues in the Earth, Planetary, and Environmental Sciences. Opportunities exist in Geophysics and Tectonics, Marine and Environmental Geology, Volcanology, Geochemistry, and Petrology, and Planetary Geosciences and Remote Sensing. Examples of specific funded projects include: passive seismic imaging and monitoring to characterize spatiotemporal processes of subsurface structure in volcanic and geothermal regions; an ocean bottom seismology and geodynamic modeling study of the Galapagos hotspot; and groundwater modeling and monitoring to characterize wildfire-related contamination in coastal beach environments. Students are expected to start at the beginning of the Fall 2024 semester, which has an application deadline of December 1st, 2023. More information on the graduate program and application process can be found here: https://www.soest.hawaii.edu/earthsciences/academics/es_graduate.html. International students can find further information here: https://manoa.hawaii.edu/graduate/international-students/.
