Postdoctoral Position in Seismology and Geodynamics
University of Hawaii-Manoa, Honolulu
Posted: 10/13/2009
A postdoctoral research position is available to study the dynamics of mantle plume-plate interaction using geodynamic-based solutions to seismic observations of the Iceland hotspot. The project will involve integrating numerical models of mantle convection with an extensive data set of body and surface wave arrivals. We seek a researcher with expertise in computational geophysics either related to mantle convection and/or seismic wave propagation, and who has written manuscripts in these or related topics. The successful applicant will be an ambitious, creative and independent researcher who is eager to collaborate with our multidisciplinary team of geodynamicists (Garrett Ito) and seismologists (Robert Dunn and Aibing Li).
The position last for one or more years contingent on annual evaluations, and comes with a stipend of about $49 K per year. Applicants must have completed their Ph. D. by the time they are appointed. Apply electronically by sending a cover letter briefly stating your research interests and CV, which includes a publication list and contact information for at least 3 references.
