[Geoinfo] Fwd: Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Exploration Seismology - University of Alberta

[Patricia Alvarado]

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOW IN EXPLORATION SEISMOLOGY

THE UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA, DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS

The Department of Physics at the University Of Alberta invites
applications for a postdoctoral researcher in exploration seismology.
The successful applicant will carry out research in the group of
Professor Mirko van der Baan in the topic of microseismicity. He/she
will work on theory and applications of microseismic monitoring,
including hydraulic fracture stimulation of tight-gas reservoirs,
carbon capture and storage, and reservoir monitoring of for instance
heavy-oil fields. Ongoing and planned research involve multiplet
analysis and double-difference relocations, shear-wave splitting,
interferometry and resonance frequencies in H/V spectra. Projects may
involve field work, knowledge transfer from earthquake seismology to
microseismic monitoring and/or adaptation of seismological computer
algorithms.


General information and application procedure

This postdoctoral position is available immediately. The initial
appointment will be for one year, with the possibility of renewal for
a second year. The successful applicant will become part of the
Microseismic Research Consortium, jointedly hosted by the University
of Alberta and the University of Calgary which is currently sponsored
by 18 software, service, hydrocarbon and mining companies. There will
be a strong interaction with the sponsors.

Applicants should hold a PhD and have research experience in
earthquake and/or exploration seismology.

Applicants should submit a CV, list of publications, and a statement
of research interests, and should arrange for three letters of
reference to be sent directly to the Department. All application
materials should be sent by email or by post to Professor Mirko van
der Baan, Department of Physics, 11322 - 89 Avenue, University of
Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, T6G 2G7, Canada.
Email:Mirko.vanderBaan en ualberta.ca.

Information on the department can be found at
http://www.physics.ualberta.ca and on the research consortium at
http://www.mu-sic.ca.

Evaluation of applications will commence: 18 April 2011.

The University of Alberta welcomes diversity and encourages
applications from all qualified women and men, including persons with
disabilities, members of visible minorities, and Aboriginal persons.
