From chris.harig at gmail.com Tue Dec 5 17:22:03 2017 From: chris.harig at gmail.com (Chris Harig) Date: Tue, 5 Dec 2017 18:22:03 -0700 Subject: [Cig-jobpostings] Postdoc at U. Arizona - geodynamics and climate Message-ID: Postdoctoral Associate The University of Arizona, Dept. of Geosciences, is advertising a post-doc position studying the interaction between ice sheets and the solid earth in the Earth Dynamics Observatory. Applicants with backgrounds in geodesy, geodynamics, seismology, applied math, or other areas of geophysics/related fields will be considered. The successful candidates will build on our previous work using spatio-spectral localization of satellite gravimetry to study the response of the cryosphere to climate change. They will work to investigate regional differences in cryosphere mass balance and the role these play in ongoing sea-level rise. The project will use gravity field data and geodynamic models to investigate lateral variations in upper mantle viscosity and their relation to contemporary ice sheet mass balance. Familiarity with glacial isostatic adjustment, geodynamic codes running on high-performance computing environments and ice-sheet physics, strong writing skills, and the ability to program in MATLAB or a similar environment are preferred. The UA Dept. of Geosciences is one of the top rated geosciences departments internationally, with a collaborative and collegial group of researchers. The University is located in Tucson, in the geologically and ecologically diverse Sonoran desert. Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, contact information for three references, a writing sample, and a C.V. More details are included at the official announcement/posting at: https://uacareers.com/postings/16197 Applications are being reviewed now, on a rolling basis. Please send informal inquiries to charig at email.arizona.edu. I will also be attending the Fall AGU Meeting.

Funded by a KAUST Competitive Research Grant, the project includes two 3-year PhD and two 2-year PostDoc positions based with Prof. P. Martin Mai at KAUST (http://ces.kaust.edu.sa), as well as one 3-year PhD and one 2-year PostDoc position joining the group of Dr. Alice-Agnes Gabriel at LMU Munich (www.geophysik.uni-muenchen.de/Members/gabriel), as well as extensive collaboration between the research groups. The starting date is flexible with the earliest opportunity in April 2018. Evaluation of applications starts immediately until positions are filled. Successful applicants must have a recent degree in geophysics, physics, engineering, or computational sciences. Candidates should have strong analytical skills, and experience in programming, data analysis, geophysical modeling and visualization. Fluency in English is mandatory. Good interpersonal skills, willingness to work in an international team of researchers and students, and ability to present the work at international conferences are expected. To apply, please send (as PDFs) your CV, list of publications, a statement of research interests, and the names and addresses of at least two referees to* Dr. Alice-Agnes Gabriel *(gabriel at geophysik.uni-muenchen.de) or *Prof. P. Martin Mai *(martin.mai at kaust.edu.sa). -- Dr. Alice-Agnes Gabriel Geophysics, LMU Munich, Germany www.geophysik.uni-muenchen.de/Members/gabriel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
