PhD opportunities
[1] Funded PhD opportunities in fluvial seismology at New Mexico Tech Open until: 2019-09-30 The students will join a project to investigate bedload transport in ephemeral channels. We will use direct measurements from the Arroyo de los Pinos sediment station to calibrate seismic and acoustic surrogates and explore the ability of dense nodal arrays to distinguish sediment transport from turbulence in relatively fine-grained systems. If interested, please contact PIs Sue Bilek (susan.bilek@nmt.edu) and Dan Cadol (daniel.cadol@nmt.edu).

[2] Postdoctoral Research Fellow – University of Southampton, UK
We are particularly looking for someone with skills in wide-angle seismology and reflection seismology, but will consider applicants from all fields of seismology. The successful candidate will work on seismic data collected during summer 2017 in a multi-source experiment focused on fluid escape structures in the North Sea, and potentially also on passive seismic data from the same experiment. Further details may be found at https://jobs.soton.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?ref=1115919HN
The application deadline is 31st March and the post is available for immediate start. Interviews are expected to take place on 30th April. Please contact Professor Tim Minshull (tmin@noc.soton.ac.uk) for further enquiries.
[3] Institution: Michigan State University
Open Until: 2019-04-01
We are seeking a postdoctoral research associate in developing and applying data analytics and computational algorithms to enable fast and high-fidelity multi-scale seismic imaging, with emphasis on dynamic monitoring the near-subsurface structure of the Earth. Potential projects include but are not limited to assimilating seismic data sets derived from passive, active, and ambient noise sources to image, monitor, and model (1) the spatial and temporal changes of active seismic and volcanic regions and (2) the interactions of water, life, soil, and rock in the Earth’s critical zone. The selected candidate will be working for Dr. Min Chen (chenmi22@msu.edu). Preferred start date no later than September 1st, 2019, earlier if possible. Applicants must apply through the MSU online system.

SEAFOOD Project at GeoAzur: https://www.oca.eu/images/GEOAZUR/_PAGES_PERSONNELLES/AnthonySladen/annonce_PhD_Postdoc_2019_SEAFOOD.pdf
Post Doc position
Postdoctoral Scholar Position
Cecil H. and Ida M. Green Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics
Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, CA
The candidate will be on a NASA-funded project, “The early phases of the crustal deformation/earthquake cycle from GNSS and complementary Earth observation datasets: Implications for earthquake and tsunami hazards.” The objective is to improve our understanding of the underlying physics of crustal deformation and the earthquake cycle, focusing on early onset postseismic deformation, through models of time-dependent fault zone processes.
Candidates should have demonstrated experience in modeling crustal deformation with the potential for independent, creative research.
The position is now open for a one-year period, with an option for an additional one-year, dependent on funding and performance. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Please e-mail a CV, two references and a letter of research interests to ybock@ucsd.edu.”

PhD position
Institution: GNS Science
Open Until: 2019-02-28
We seek a highly motivated student for a 3-year PhD scholarship on numerical simulations of slow slip and earthquakes in the Hikurangi subduction margin. This project aims to use numerical simulations of seismic and aseismic fault slip and seismic wave propagation, combined with newly acquired on-shore and off-shore data, to understand the mechanisms controlling complex megathrust slip behaviour at the Hikurangi subduction plate boundary in New Zealand. The student project will include extensive numerical modelling and interpreting observations and model results.
The student will be expected to enrol as a PhD student at Victoria University of Wellington (VUW) and will be supervised by Yoshi Kaneko at GNS Science and Prof. Martha Savage at VUW.
Prospective candidates must have a strong background in geophysics, physics, engineering, or a related discipline, be proficient in one or more scientific programming languages (Matlab, Python, Fortran, etc.), and have completed (or is expected to complete) a Master’s or equivalent degree by the start of the PhD programme.
Applications including an up-to-date curriculum vitae and evidence of previous study should be submitted via the Faculty of Graduate Research website (http://www.vuw.ac.nz/fgr) by 28 February, 2019. The start date is flexible but will be no later than 1 July 2019. Please direct all questions to:
Dr Yoshi Kaneko (y.kaneko@gns.cri.nz)
Post Doc position
Institution: Swiss Seismological Service, ETH Zurich, Switzerland
Open Until: 2019-03-01
We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher for an open position in our international team at the Swiss Seismological Service, ETH Zurich, Switzerland. Main tasks are the improvement of site-specific seismic hazard assessment and regional ground-motion prediction equations. This will be achieved by considering realistic sources and complex models for path and site effects. It is expected that both empirical and stochastic methods will be applied, also including descriptions of uncertainties.
The successful candidate will have a PhD in Seismology, Geophysics, Engineering Seismology or a related Engineering discipline. Strong background in statistics and/or engineering seismology is required. Proven experience with ground-motion prediction equations represents an important advantage. Excellent scientific programming and communication skills are a prerequisite, as is fluency in English. Knowledge of German or French would be regarded positively.
