size=3>Greetings!<BR><BR>Please circulate this announcement among promising
undergraduates and<BR>graduate who are considering PhD and MSc studies in the
Late Quaternary.<BR><BR>Graduate Student Positions in Environmental
micropaleontology.<BR>School of Earth and Ocean Sciences (SEOS), University of
Victoria<BR><BR>Two graduate student positions in marine palynology, both
at<BR>Ph.D. and M.Sc. levels, are available at the University of Victoria,
British<BR>Columbia, Canada. Students will be working under the supervision of
Dr. Vera<BR>Pospelova at the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences. There are
several<BR>research projects available involving applications of
palynomorphs<BR>(dinoflagellate cysts, foraminiferal organic linings, spores and
pollen) for<BR>climatic and environmental reconstructions of modern and the Late
Quaternary<BR>conditions in the Pacific region. Research would include both
field and<BR>laboratory components.<BR><BR>Applications from well-motivated
students, preferably with a<BR>background in geology and/or biology and with an
excellent academic standing<BR>(GPA > 6/9) will be given priority. Knowledge
of palynology is desirable,<BR>but not essential. Interested individuals are
encouraged to contact Dr.<BR>Pospelova as soon as possible, and submit a CV,
unofficial copy of<BR>university transcripts (undergraduate and graduate as
appropriate) and a<BR>brief statement of scientific interests to
