Latest open positions:
Post-doctoral Fellowship in Fault Mechanics and Earthquake Triggering
- Institute: Florida International University, Miami, Florida
- Starting: Early 2025
- Duration: –
- Deadline: October 1, 2024
- How to apply: (1) a cover letter indicating your research experience and suitability for this position, (2) a curriculum vitae, and (3) the names, addresses, and e-mail addresses of three potential references. Please email your application to Dr. Shimon Wdowinski, Institute of Environment, Department of Earth and Environment, Florida International University. E-mail: shimon.wdowinski@fiu.edu
More details: The Institute of Environment and the Department of Earth and Environment at Florida International University seek a highly motivated post-doctoral fellow to join the Geodesy Lab (geodesy.fiu.edu) to conduct fault mechanics and earthquake triggering research.The research is part of an NSF-supported project aimed at understanding the impact of climatic variability on earthquake clustering in the Dead Sea Basin. It is based on the longest detailed paleoseismic record (220,000 years) derived from borehole and outcrop observations of deformed lake deposits (‘seismites’). Initial analyses revealed a significant correlation between long-term earthquake occurrence and lake levels. The project explores the impact of lake-level changes on the paleo-earthquake record by evaluating the processes involved in seismite formation, including sedimentary unit build-up, seismic shaking, unit tearing, gravitational sliding, and deposition. Seismic shaking is an end product of complex tectonic processes involving strain accumulation, surface load changes, pore pressure changes, and stress release.

Postdoctoral position at GSSI
- Institute: Gran Sasso Science Institute
- Starting: –
- Duration: –
- Deadline: August 20, 2024
More details : The gravitational-wave (GW) group at the GSSI is looking for a postdoc
to work on the design of the Newtonian-noise cancellation system for the
Einstein Telescope (position Phys 1.1). If you have questions, contact jan.harms@gssi.it. This systems foresees the deployment of hundreds of broadband
seismometers in boreholes as input to a coherent noise-cancellation filter. It requires optimized array configurations based on seismic observations and numerical simulations of seismic correlations. The research activity of the postdoc is a continuation of work carried out
in the past years, e.g., https://doi.org/10.1029/2020JB020401, https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.09289, and https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.13170

- Deadline: October 1, 2024
Tenure-Track Assistant Professor, Geohazards and Climate Mitigation
- Institute: Columbia University
- Starting: –
- Duration: –
- Deadline: October 15, 2024
