        As part of a new initiative at the Centre for Exploration Targeting at the University of Western Australia we are currently seeking candidates for two 4-year postdoctoral fellowships and 2 PhD candidates starting 4th quarter 2013 to work on topics related to joint geological and geophysical modelling and inversion.

        The full position descriptions and application process will be soon be posted online, however initial contact can already be made with:

        Postdoctoral Fellow 1: Multiply Constrained 3D Geologically Modelling

        We seek a highly motivated geoscientist (geophysicist) to develop algorithms and workflows that allow the full range of geological field observations, including age relationships, to be captured and used as constraints in the 3D modelling process. The successful applicant must have a doctoral qualification or equivalent scholarly attainment in geoscience and the strong desire to deliver applied research to the minerals industry.

        

        Postdoctoral Fellow 2: Joint Geophysical Inversion

        The Post-Doctoral Fellow will develop and apply the TOMOFAST3D code being developed as collaboration between the CET and the University of Toulouse/CNRS. TOMOFAST3D is a parallel code that has been developed by Dr. Roland Martin and co-workers at the CNRS Laboratory “Géosciences Environnement Toulouse” in France. The code is able to perform joint inversions on huge geophysical data sets, using gravimetry and magnetism for instance. The successful applicant must have a doctoral qualification or equivalent scholarly attainment in geoscience and the strong desire to deliver applied research to the minerals industry.

        
        PhD Scholarship 1: Characterising Geological and Geophysical Uncertainty

        This project will focus on the application of new and existing algorithms capable of characterising the ambiguity in 3D model suites in terms of both geometry and petrophysical properties.   This ambiguity analysis will also feed into the sensitivity analysis that can identify which existing data is most critical in determining the outcomes of the modelling, and what (and where) new data could be collected to further reduce ambiguity. Experience in geological modelling is welcomed, and coding skills are essential.

        

        PhD Scholarship 2: Integrated Geological and Geophysical Inversion

        This project will focus on the development and application of workflows which combine multiple geological hypotheses of the 3D geology of the earth as inputs for joint geophysical inversion in order to build an iterative coupled geological/geophysical solver. 

        A repeat announcement will be made once the online application process is open.

        cheers

        Mark Jessell
