>>>Multiple Post-Doctoral Research Scientists in Seismology and Geodesy:
The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University invites
applications for up to six full-time post-doctoral research scientist
positions in Seismology and Geodesy. The successful applicants will
work with investigators of the seismology and geodesy groups (
www.ldeo.columbia.edu/research/seismology-geology-tectonophysics/postdoc-opportunities
) on one or more of the projects listed below.
The successful candidates will join a dynamic group of geophysicists
working on a wide range of interrelated problems in Earth structure
and dynamics, earthquake-source studies, and the interactions of the
solid Earth, hydrosphere, and cryosphere. The positions are full-time
1-year appointments, with the opportunity for continuation and growth
depending on progress and availability of funding.
We seek qualified, highly motivated candidates for the following
research activities:
- Analysis and interpretation of diverse onshore and offshore
active-source seismic data to investigate deformation and magmatism at
active and ancient plate boundaries, including a targeted study of
the Alaska/Aleutian subduction zone;
- Development and implementation of methods for imaging crust and
upper-mantle structure from broadband arrays and modeling of results
in terms of physical properties. Focus on the dynamics driving
subduction in Alaska, uplift and rifting in Papua New Guinea, the deep
structure and evolution of volcanic arcs, and the evolution of the
Pacific plate;
- Exploitation of data from the Global Seismographic Network and the
USArray component of EarthScope for the purpose of improved
characterization of earthquake sources and the development of
next-generation tomographic images of the Earth's interior;
- Interdisciplinary geodetic studies, including: an analysis of tidal
resonance using a global set of GPS data; a multidisciplinary study of
the impact of climate change on the solid Earth and oceans; innovative
geodetic methods applied to glaciology and other branches of the
geosciences; improvements in geodetic accuracy and analysis
techniques.
Requirements:
A recent Ph.D. in Geophysics or a related discipline is required.
Experience in computer programming is highly preferred, as well as
research experience directly relevant to the research activities
described above.
To apply:
Applicants should submit a personal statement describing research
experience and interests, including specific reference to the projects
listed here, a curriculum vitae, and the names and addresses of three
references,to:
https://academicjobs.columbia.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=54429
Only online applications will be accepted.
Columbia University is an Equal opportunity and affirmative action employer.
