Geochemistry Group Mentorship scheme 2024/25

by George Cooper

Dear Geochemists, The Geochemistry Group is happy to announce the return of the Geochemistry Group Mentorship scheme<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgeochemis…>. After lasts years resounding success, GGMS 2024/25 is back! The scheme aims to pair mentees with more established geochemist mentors, who can provide pastoral support and guidance based on their personal experience and knowledge in the field. The GGMS is open to PhD students and ECRs at UK and Northern Ireland based institutions with a membership to either Mineralogical Society of the UK and Ireland, and/or the Geological Society of London. Preference will be given to those who have not taken part in the scheme before and ECRs. The scheme will run from December 2024 to June 2025, during which time you will partake in one kick-off meeting in December and 3 or 4 one-on-one online meetings with your mentor over the course of 2025. For full details head to our website: https://geochemistry.group/ggms/<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgeochemis…> Expressions of interest can be submitted here: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=MH_ksn3NTkql2rGM8aQVG8-…<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.off…> Deadline for expression of interest is Monday 25th November 2024. The first kick-off meeting will be held the week beginning the 2nd December. All the best, George

Call for geochemistry-related PhD projects

by George Cooper

Dear Geochemists, It is around that time of year when PhD opportunities are advertised. This year, the Geochemistry Group plan to compile a list of all the geochemistry-related PhD projects available in the UK (or abroad, for UK applicants). To help us compile the list, I have put together a short google form to enter all the relevant info: https://forms.gle/6RPRNBecHNnV89By9<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle…>. So if you have/know of a project you would like adding to the list, please fill out the form ASAP. We will then circulate the compiled list on our website and through this mailing list in November. All the best George

Geochemistry Group Updates

by George Cooper

Dear Geochemists, We have more opportunities available with fast approaching deadlines! ECR Prominent Lecture series: Our 2024 winner, Ross Whiteford still has some slots available for his lecture tour. To host Ross, and for details of his lectures, head to our website: https://geochemistry.group/ecr-prominent-lecture-series/<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgeochemis…> Jobs: * PDRA in Planetary Science in Manchester. A 17 month Research Associate position is available for a planetary scientist to undertake research into lunar samples. The position is in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, under the direction of Prof. Katherine Joy and in collaboration with Drs. Romain Tartese, David Neave, Margaret Hartley and John Pernet-Fisher. Deadline is 21st October.

Reminder: Geological Society 2025 Award nominations to be submitted by 14 October 2024

by George Cooper

Dear Geochemists, We are forwarding a reminder on behalf of the Geological Society that the closing date to nominate for the Geological Society 2025 awards is Monday 14 October 2024. Nominations can be for all award categories from early career awards to career achievement medallists and this year the biennial Aberconway medal recognising distinction in the practice of applied or economic geoscience with special reference to work in industry will be awarded. Here is the Awards, Medals and Funds brochure<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.geols…> with further information on the website<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.geols…>. In regards the Geological Society's Early Career Funds and President Award, the Awards Committee has been revising the wording of the descriptors on the website to make them more inclusive of all potential candidates falling under the early career category. The wording will be updated for future award cycles but in the meantime, the nomination form is updated to include an additional box where the nominator can give a brief statement as to why the candidate is "early career" to indicate some flex with regards the current descriptors. Please email the Committee's secretary awards(a)geolsoc.org.uk<mailto:awards@geolsoc.org.uk> should you have any questions in regards nominations. Best wishes George
