[Geoinfo] Fwd: (Job) Postdoctoral Research Associate position at U. Texas, Arlington

[Patricia Alvarado]

>>>>
A postdoctoral research associate position in the Department of Earth
and Environmental Sciences (EES) at the University of Texas at
Arlington is available starting January 2012.  Funding for this
position is provided in part by NSF and NASA, through the ongoing
CALIPSO project on the actively erupting Soufriere Hills volcano on
Montserrat, West Indies
(http://www.uta.edu/faculty/mattioli/research/CALIPSO/Intro.html). The
initial appointment will be for one year and may be renewed for at
least an additional year, with a satisfactory annual review.

The CALIPSO project focuses on using data from the CALIPSO Facility
(borehole strain, seismometers, and surface cGPS) to develop models
for the evolution and dynamics of the active SHV magmatic system over
a range of temporal and spatial scales.  The successful candidate
should have a demonstrated background in one or more of the following
areas: 1) inversion of surface deformation data; 2) FEM modeling of
dynamic magmatic systems or volcano edifice instability; 3) analysis
of borehole strain and/or seismic data; or 4) analysis of high-rate
GPS data.

A Ph.D. in Earth Sciences or a related field is required and
demonstrated computer and modeling skills are a must. Some familiarity
with operation of remote geophysical data acquisition systems is
desirable. Ability to work as part of a team, which includes graduate
students and other CALIPSO PIs is essential.  Completed applications
consist of: a curriculum vitae; statement of research experience and
goals; and names and contact information of at least four individuals
who would be willing to provide letters of recommendation.

Applications should be submitted by December 1, 2011, but will
continue to be reviewed until the position is filled. If possible,
interviews will be conducted at Fall AGU, or by phone. Applications in
Adobe PDF format should be submitted electronically to
gmattioli en uta.edu.  Print applications may be mailed to: Dr. Glen S.
Mattioli, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University
of Texas at Arlington, 500 Yates St., Arlington, Texas 76019.

UT Arlington is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.
Women, minorities, veterans, and individuals with disabilities are
encouraged to apply. A criminal background check will be conducted on
finalists.
