Dear colleague,

The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory, Institute for Study of the Earth's
Interior, Okayama University would like to invite applications for the 2014
International Student Intern Program.

The program offers students an opportunity to work in state-of-the-art
research facilities, and to gain first-hand research experience. Last year,
the Chelyabinsk meteorites was chosen to be the main target for the program.

* Contact: Tak Kunihiro <pmlmiship en itokawa.misasa.okayama-u.ac.jp>
* Date: July 1 (Tue) -- August 9 (Fri), 2014
* Eligibility: The program is open to advanced undergraduate (3rd to
4th year) and master-course students. We prefer students in earth
sciences, physics, chemistry, and materials sciences who have a
strong interest in a pursuing a career in scientific research
regardless of their nationality, but assuming reasonable
communication skills in English.
* Financial: Accommodation in the Misasa guesthouse is provided, and
travel and living expenses are fully covered.
* Application deadline: May 6, 2014
* Projects conducted in the past
** Multichron: Isotope compositions of Sr, Nd, and Pb were determined
   to date plutons by TIMS, ICP-MS, and SIMS. One of the major goals was
   to have experience in wet chemistry in our clean room. Related
   petrographic work was undertaken over a wide range of scales by
   FE-SEM, EPMA, micro-Raman, micro-FTIR, and FIB/TEM.
** Multielements: The target here was a meteorite and a single thin
   section was investigated comprehensively using a wide range of
   instruments (FE-SEM, EPMA, LA-ICPMS, and SIMS). One highlight was
   the determination of oxygen isotope compositions by gas
   mass-spectrometry and laser fluorination.
** Synthesis: The prerequisite for any microanalytical analysis is
   having well-characterized reference material. In this project,
   students created reference materials with wide variation in
   chemical and isotopic composition. First, glass was
   synthesized. Then the glass was analyzed by conventional methods,
   including TIMS, ICP-MS, and gas-MS. Finally, using other reference
   materials, the new standard was characterized and calibrated by
   SIMS.
