For Students – Available internships<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This project offers Geoscience students on bachelor and master level internships at partner universities and associated businesses. For 2023 we will offer internships for Norwegian students, and from 2024 we will offer internships for international students internships in Norway as well. On this page we will post all the available internships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prosjektet <\/strong>har 3 praksisstillinger tilgjengelig for h\u00f8sten 2025, og stillingene har en varighet p\u00e5 8 uker. Stillingene er ved Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Brasil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Om universitetet: http:\/\/www.ufrgs.br\/english\/home<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) is one of the five largest and most qualified universities in Brazil. It is considered one of the most important higher education institutions in Latin America. The UFRGS International Campus is a platform for the development of integrated actions of internationalization, through which UFRGS strategically consolidates and expands its international cooperation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UFRGS International Campus is founded on the concept of a university in the world and for the world, a university promoting academic, scientific and cultural cooperation with several countries, in a multilateral consortium and supranational instances through international public and private partnerships. UFRGS proves its excellence by promoting an educational system that is consistent with emerging models of higher education for the 21st century, which give priority to creativity, innovation and autonomy.\u201d<\/em>

Beskrivelse<\/u><\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internship 1: Coal and Petroleum Source Rock Lab<\/strong> \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The student will learn about the analytical procedures and techniques comprising fundamental steps in organic geochemistry like sample preparation and storage, aspects of sample treatment like extraction and fractionation procedures, and finally, the specific methods used for organic analyses as biomarker analysis by GC\/MS, Rock-Eval Pyrolysis, and organic petrography (vitrinite reflectance and macerals).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project at hand<\/strong>: Correlation between optical, molecular and structural parameters to determine the maturation degree of dispersed organic matter from sedimentary rocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possible Internship Period (8 weeks)<\/strong>: October to November 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internship 2: Isotopic Geology Laboratory<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are pleased to offer internship opportunities in our state-of-the-art isotopic laboratory dedicated to geological research. This internship provides hands-on experience in processing geological samples to obtain isotopic data for Sm-Nd, Pb-Pb, and Sr isotopes in silicate rocks or carbonates and C and O isotopes in carbonate samples. Students will develop practical skills in advanced mass spectrometry techniques, including TIMS (Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry) and ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry), along with analytical proficiency in MEV-EDS (Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy). Current projects under my supervision include isotopic and provenance studies applied to both oil & gas exploration and metallogeny, offering students the opportunity to contribute to research that bridges fundamental science and applied geological challenges. Additionally, interns will have the chance to collaborate and interact with other students under my supervision, fostering a collaborative learning environment and the exchange of ideas. This is an excellent opportunity for aspiring geoscientists to gain valuable experience and be part of impactful research initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project at hand:<\/strong> Magmatic-hydrothermal mineralizing systems in the Borborema Province and the Dom Feliciano Belt: geodynamic and metallogenic studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possible Internship Period (8 weeks):<\/strong>  October to November 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mentor and contact:<\/strong> Prof. Juliana Marques – juliana.marques@ufrgs.b<\/a>r
<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internship 3: Syntectonic Magmatism Research Group<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group is formed by MSc and PhD students, as well as undergrad students who want to initiate a scientific career. The research is done both in the field and laboratory. Fieldwork is intended to train students in describing, sampling and sketching igneous and metamorphic rocks and structures. Additionally, students who choose to participate in geophysical techniques, like AMS (Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility) and Paleomagnetism, have specific training in sampling rocks for this type of study by drilling and preparing drill cores for magnetic measurements. During the Brazilian summer (December to March), fieldwork is only possible in southernmost Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul state). From April to November there are periods of fieldwork also in the Santa Catarina state. The students may join ongoing research projects, mostly carried out in granitic rocks and their metamorphic host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project at hand:<\/strong> Sampling migmatitic gneisses for detailed study of geochemistry and petrochronology in the region of Cambori\u00fa, south Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internship period<\/strong> : From September 3 to October 29, 2025 (Includes about 10 days of field work in late September)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
