[Cig-jobpostings] Postdoc opportunity in Geodynamics, University of Maryland

[Terri Knight]

The Department of Geology at the University of Maryland
<http://www.geology.umd.edu> has an opening for a postdoctoral Research
Associate to work in the geodynamics laboratory
<http://www.geology.umd.edu/%7Emontesi/Geodynamics/index.html> on a project
funded by the National Science Foundation.



The project, entitled *"Fabric Evolution and the Development of Ductile
Shear Zones,"* aims at better constraining, from a theoretical and
mechanical point of view, the structure of the lithosphere beneath
seismically active faults. The research associate will develop a numerical
model of strike-slip motion using the deal.II finite element library
<http://www.dealii.org> and simulate with it the development of a ductile
shear zone underneath a seismogenic fault. Experience in computational
modeling, especially using finite element methods, is highly desirable.



The position is for 2 ½ years, contingent upon satisfactory performance.
All Ph.D. requirements must be completed by the time of appointment.  *To
apply, please send, preferably by **email**, (1) a brief **cover letter**
stating **research interests and experience**, along with contact
information for **three references** (name, institute and email address are
sufficient), and (2) a **CV including a publication list** to:*
