Himalayan-Karakoram-Tibet Workshop (HKT) 2012 in Kathmandu
URL:http://ngs.org.np/web/hkt-2012
Nepal Geological Society is pleased to announce that it is hosting the 27th Himalaya- Karakoram-Tibet (HKT) workshop in Kathmandu, Nepal, during November 28-30, 2012. The HKT workshops have been a forum instrumental in the advancement of geologic understanding of this part of the earth. Geoscientists from across the world have contributed and have benefited from each other during such workshops in the past. It is expected that this forthcoming event will add again one more building block in furthering the geosciences and the understanding of the geologic phenomena in this part of the globe. After the 9th workshop in 1994, this is the second time that the HKT workshop is going to be held in Nepal – a popular destination for all natural scientists as well as tourists from all over the world alike. The workshop is a forum of all geoscientists for a collegial discussion and sharing of their new findings from research in the HKT region. The Nepal Geological Society invites the HKT geosciences community from all over the world to participate and make the event successful.
Deadlines:
Workshop pre-registration form submission: June 30, 2012
Abstract submission: July 31, 2012
Workshop and field trip registration and payment (All registrations after this date shall incur a late fee): September 15, 2012
Full paper submission: October 30, 2012

Assistant professor in Sedimentology and Organic Geochemistry
Department of Earth Sciences - University of Science and Technology of Lyon
Lyon Geology Lab : Earth, planets, environment
TEACHING:
The job is designed to fulfil specialised teaching imperatives at the Licence and Master academic levels in the field of Organic Geochemistry applied to the study of sedimentary (paleo)environments and of oil/petroleum systems. There is currently no teacher-researcher in Organic Geochemistry at the University of Lyon. He (She) will be involved in the organisation and the management of lectures and teaching including:
Licence Sciences and Technology, mention Earth Environment: (L2 Chemistry - Geochemistry; L3 Environmental Geochemistry; L3 Field school - Sedimentology).
Master in Earth Sciences (University Lyon 1 / ENS of Lyon) : M1 Biosignatures; M1 Formation, evolution and characterisation of hydrocarbons; M2 Biogeochemical markers; M2 Cycles, events and climates.
Licence Sciences and Technology, mention Biology: L2 Sedimentary Petrology.
Training in Education in SV-STU (Living Sciences and Earth and Universe Sciences): M2 Fossil Combustibles.
Prep-Agregation SV-STU: Energy Ressources.
RESEARCH:
The candidate will strengthen a scientific discipline developed during the last years within the Department of Earth Sciences and the Geology Lab. of Lyon thanks to the arrival of a researcher (CNRS Senior Scientist), in order to develop organic matter sedimentology. The studies are based on the use of organic biomarkers (molecular fossils) to study sedimentary (paleo)environnements as well as present and past interactions between biosphere and geosphere.
Preferably, he/she will be a specialist of molecular signatures in some of the following fields: Biogeochemistry, Microbial Geochemistry, Paleoceanography, Petroleum Geochemistry. Solid skills in analytical techniques used for the study of organic biomarkers (GC-MS, LC-MS, GC-C-IRMS, etc.) will be preferred. The candidate will have good knowledge in sedimentary dynamics (deposition and preservation of organic matter). Expertise in complementary techniques applied to organic matter (palynofacies, mineralogy, isotope geochemistry, etc.) will constitute an advantage. The candidate will have to demonstrate a good integration into the national and the international scientific communities.
