Postdoctoral Fellowship in Seismology & Tectonics
- Title:Postdoctoral Fellowship in Seismology & Tectonics
- Date listed: Fri 11 Dec
- Apply before: Mon 22 Feb
- Location: Wellington
University of Wellington. This is a two year fixed term position commencing on March 15, 2010 (or as soon as possible thereafter) and jointly funded by a New Zealand government grant and the New Zealand Earthquake Commission (EQC).
The objectives of this study are to participate in seismological experiment to image the subducted plate boundary interface in the southern North Island of New Zealand. The field program has elements of passive and active seismology in it, including the use of a ship to shoot onshore-offshore data. This is part of a national (GNS science and Victoria University of Wellington) and international experiment with contributions from Japan and the USA. A central goal of the research programme is to learn about the seismogenic processes on the subduction thrust beneath the city of Wellington.
The appointee will ideally have experience in active or passive seismology methods and have an interest in solving tectonics problems. The fellow will be working with a team of students and researchers in studying the plate boundary structure beneath Wellington . Applicants must have completed a PhD or expect to do so by 1 March 2010.
For more information contact Professor Tim Stern, School of Geography, Environment, and Earth Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington, PO Box 600, Wellington, New Zealand, tim.stern@vuw.ac.nz.
Applications close 22 February 2009. Please apply online at http://vacancies.vuw.ac.nz/
