[Geoinfo] Postdoctoral Fellowship in Seismology and Tectonics

[Patricia Alvarado]

Postdoctoral Fellowship in Seismology and Tectonics, Victoria
University of Wellington

Applications are invited for the position of Postdoctoral Fellow,
Institute of Geophysics, Victoria 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
