[Cig-jobpostings] Postdoctoral position in Geophysics in the field of crustal deformation

[Anthony Sladen]

Dear CIG mailing-list administrator,
Could you please post the following announcement for a postdoc position at
our institute ?
Best regards,
Anthony Sladen


--------

*Postdoctoral position in Geophysics in the field of crustal deformation *

*at the Earth science research lab Géoazur (Sophia-Antipolis, France)*


For the E-POST project (The Early POSTseismic deformation: a key process in
the earthquake cycle. From observation to modeling.), funded by the French
National Research Agency (ANR), we are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral
Researcher with experience in the field of mechanical modeling and/or
geodetic earthquake source modeling and/or dynamic earthquake source
modeling. Knowledge of friction laws and fault modeling applications will
be appreciated.

The main objective of the project is to better understand the complex space
and time evolution of postseismic transient processes to better assess
their link with the coseismic processes and how they contribute to the
stress redistribution, which might lead to the generation of catastrophic
seismic sequences. The originality of the project is to focus on the
shorter time scale of the postseismic phase, the transition from the co- to
postseismic (i.e. early postseismic, from minutes to early days) and to
test to what extent the better description and knowledge of the co- and
early postseismic deformation help to resolve the longer time-scale
postseismic deformation (months - years).

This project federates scientists with skills ranging from geodesy,
seismology, hydro-mechanics, and crustal mechanics. It provides a chance to
study the postseismic processes with an integrated approach from
observation to kinematic and mechanical models. The Postdoctoral Researcher
will focus its research on the postseismic mechanical processes related to
faults and will work at the interface of the different modeling competences
of the group, helping carrying the results a step further. The main
objective of the postdoctoral research is to understand which physics may
account for the various slip behavior on the fault and to relate physics to
kinematics.

The successful candidate will be expected to have experience in linux/unix
environment and programming, to have good written and oral communication
skills in English, and to have a result-oriented proactive attitude for
publishing scientific results in top refereed journals.

*Details and application procedure*

>From mid-August, candidate proposal will be examined until position is
filled. The position is open as early as October 1st, 2017, and early start
will be strongly appreciated.

Net income will be in the range of 2000-2800€/months depending on the CNRS
standards based on experience.

Duration will be 12 to 24 months depending on experience and start of the
position.

Proposal must be sent by e-mail to mathilde.vergnolle<at>geoazur.unice.fr
with e-mail subject "E-POST Postdoc position".

*Proposal must contain*: 1/ a motivation letter with proposed position
starting date, 2/ a vitae, including at least 2 references with name,
address, e-mail and professional relation, 3/ a brief description of your
research activities, including the list of scientific publications and
communications.

*Additional information*

Géoazur is an academic research unit located in Sophia-Antipolis, a leading
European technology park, just outside the city of Nice. The research lab
is part of the University Côte d'Azur (UCA) and Observatory Côte d'Azur
(OCA).
