<p><font face="Roboto" style="font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(0,0,0)">The <b style="font-family:Roboto">Institute for Rock
Magnetism (IRM)</b> at the University of Minnesota
is one of 30 national multi-user facilities in the
Earth Sciences supported by the US National Science
Foundation (NSF) to provide advanced infrastructure
and expertise to the geoscience research and education
communities. Research at the IRM ranges from
fundamental investigations of the physics of
fine-particle magnetism, to applied studies using the
magnetic characteristics of rocks, sediments,
speleothems, and other materials to investigate a wide
variety of geological, geophysical, planetary,
environmental, climate, and surficial Earth processes.</font></p>
<p><font face="Roboto" style="font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(0,0,0)">We provide access and support for
visiting scientists in five categories, for which we
encourage you to apply: <br>

Fellowships</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Roboto" style="font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(0,0,0)">These awards provide
subsidized access to the full set of IRM
instruments for up to 10 days: a Fellowship
grant of $8000 may be used to offset the
costs of instrument use, and for partial
reimbursement of travel costs (up to $750).
Topics for research are open to any field of
study involving fine particle magnetism, but
preference will be given to projects
relating magnetism to geological or
environmental studies, or to fundamental
physical studies relevant to the magnetism
of Earth materials.<b style="font-family:Roboto"><br>
</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Roboto" style="font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><b style="font-family:Roboto">(2) U.S. Student
Fellowships</b><br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Roboto" style="font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(0,0,0)">This program provides
financial and instrumental support for
advanced U.S. undergraduates and graduate
students who seek to acquire
state-of-the-art rock magnetic and/or
paleomagnetic data for an individual
research project. Special consideration is
given to students requiring data for the
completion of a senior thesis or preliminary
data for a proposal to support continued
graduate research. Visiting Students spend
up to five days at the IRM and work closely
with IRM staff to: 1. Learn how to design
and conduct rock-magnetic experiments; 2.
Process and interpret the generated data;
and 3. Identify specific, attainable
research goals that can be achieved with
future magnetic measurements. US Student
Fellows are not charged facility usage fees,
and are eligible for reimbursement of travel
costs up to a maximum of $500.<b style="font-family:Roboto"><br>

<p><font face="Roboto" style="font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><b style="font-family:Roboto">(3) U-Channel
Fellowships</b><br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Roboto" style="font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(0,0,0)">The IRMs u-channel
magnetometer system is available for use by
visitors with continuous cores (4.2-cm
access diameter optimized for standard
u-channels) or discrete samples for
paleomagnetic and basic rock-magnetic or
environmental-magnetic work. U-channel
visitors may also request access to a
limited number of additional instruments for
a few days, for more detailed rock magnetic
analyses on a small number of pilot samples.
These data may be used to explore the
feasibility of returning to the IRM as a
Visiting Fellow with a targeted rock
magnetic study. A usage fee of $100 per day
(ten-day maximum) covers unlimited use of
the u-channel system, training and
assistance with the equipment, and (if
desired) some help with data interpretation
and analysis. A fee waiver may be granted in
cases of financial hardship, and proposals
will not be evaluated on the basis of
ability to pay.</font><font face="Roboto" style="font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><b style="font-family:Roboto"><br>

micromagnetic structures in individual
grains or measuring magnetic moments at
high spatial resolutions are useful for
understanding the origin of natural
magnetic memory and its stability over
geologic timescales. With the
installation of an Asylum Magnetic Force
Microscope (MFM) and Quantum Diamond
Microscope (QDM) we are pleased to offer
a new fellowship category. MFM offers
spatial resolutions of a few tens of
nanometers for (sub)domain imaging,
whereas QDM offers a range of
resolutions from millimeters to tens of
micrometers for high-sensitivity moment
detection.</font></span></font><font face="Roboto" style="font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(255,0,0)"><font style="font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br>

specific access to, and expertise on,
using one or other of these instruments.
Owing to the time consuming nature of
the measurements, this fellowship's
focus is only magnetic microscopy on a
limited number of samples. Access to
other instrumentation at the IRM is
limited as part of this fellowship.</font></span></font><span></span></p>

Fellowships</b><br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Roboto" style="font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(0,0,0)">To give the Earth
Sciences community greater access to IRM
instrumentation, this fellowship allows
researchers to submit proposals designed
around IRM staff conducting measurements on
their behalf. The aim of fellowship is to
provide support to researchers with limited
resources, limited (or no funding) or an
inability to travel. </font><font face="Roboto" style="font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="Roboto" style="font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Preference
will be given to graduate students coming
towards the conclusion of their studies

would benefit their research and help
promote their careers.</font></font><font face="Roboto" style="font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><b style="font-family:Roboto"><br>
