This position will contribute to a funded Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Project that seeks to quantify the effects of post-seismic deformation on Antarctica through extending an existing global, spherical, three-dimensional finite-element model for the purpose of simulation of post-seismic deformation of Antarctica and its effect on solid Earth deformation and the gravity field. The project involves close collaboration with geophysical modellers and geodesists at Newcastle University (Australia), Delft University of Technology and Durham University. Geophysics and Geodesy (Geomatic Engineering) research at the University of Tasmania have been ranked top or equal-top in Australia in the most recent national Excellence in Research for Australia assessment. Appointment to this role will be at Academic Level A and will have a total remuneration package of up to $AUD101,329 comprising base salary within the range of $80,941 to $86,606 plus 17% superannuation or at Academic Level B with a total remuneration package of up to $125,486 comprising base salary within the range of $90,962 to $107,253 plus 17% superannuation Further information is available at https://jobs.utas.edu.au/psp/ps/EMPLOYEE/HRMS/c/HRS_HRAM.HRS_APP_SCHJOB.GBL?FOCUS=Applicant&SiteId=1 Applications close September 29 for a commencement in late 2017 or early 2018.

The first postdoc will work primarily with Erik Hauri and Peter van Keken to study the geochemical evolution of the Earth using dynamical models of mantle convection. The second postdoc will work with Marc Spiegelman (Columbia University), Cian Wilson and Peter van Keken on parallel optimization of finite element models for mantle and lithosphere dynamics.

Arizona - geophysics and climate Message-ID: Postdoctoral Associates 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, climate science, 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. Possible projects include, 1) using gravity field data and geodynamic models to investigate lateral variations in upper mantle viscosity and their relation to contemporary ice sheet mass balance, and 2) investigating the spatial relationships between ice sheet mass balance and the changes to the climate which drive ice mass changes, such as temperature data, etc. Familiarity with ice-sheet physics, geodynamic codes running on high-performance computing environments, global climate model output, 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 More than one hire is likely. Applications are being reviewed on a rolling basis. Please send informal inquiries to charig at email.arizona.edu Thanks, Chris Harig http://polarice.geo.arizona.edu/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Funding from the Green Foundation for Earth Sciences is matched with extramural funds for specific research projects to support these positions. Prior to submitting an application, applicants should contact potential IGPP mentors to check whether they have a viable project. Positions are available for one year and are renewable for a second year, subject to satisfactory performance and availability of funds. Green scholars are encouraged to broaden their experience through interaction with other researchers at IGPP and individual research goals may be pursued if project progress can be maintained. Information on recent IGPP research is available here. Applications should include a statement of research interests (1 page), dissertation abstract (less than 250 words), curriculum vitae with publications list, immigration status, and contact information for two recommendation letter writers. Applications should be submitted online here. Applications should be submitted by October 15, 2017. Potential applicants are strongly advised to initiate contact with prospective mentor(s) well before this date. Review of applications typically takes 2-3 months. Applications may be accepted until the position is filled, but full consideration is not assured if all materials are not received by Oct 15. Letters of support should not be submitted with the application; we will solicit letters after a first round of evaluation. Please address questions to greenfound at ucsd.edu. UC San Diego is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) employer and welcomes all qualified applicants. Applicants will receive fair and impartial consideration without regard to race, sex, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, genetic data, or other legally protected status. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
