[Cig-jobpostings] Grad student & Post-doc Opportunities at Univ. of Hawaii

[Garrett Apuzen-Ito]

Dear Colleagues,

Please pass to potentially interested students or researchers (apologies 
in advance for multiple postings)

*Graduate Student and Post-doc Opportunities at the University of Hawaii*

*Volcano construction and lithospheric flexure along the 
Hawaiian-Emperor hotspot track:* _A post-doctoral researcher in 
seismology_ is sought to work on projects involving wide-angle, 
active-source seismic data collected on arrays of ocean bottom 
seismographs, including tomographic analyses for imaging the crust and 
upper mantle. The successful applicant will integrate results and 
interpretations with those of a companion multi-channel seismic 
reflection study led by collaborators at Lamont-Doherty Earth 
Observatory.  Skills and experience in active-source seismology are 
desired.    Contact Robert Dunn: dunnr at hawaii.edu. See more details at:

_A graduate student interested in geodynamic modeling_ is sought to 
study the the time-dependent growth of the volcanic loads and resulting 
mechanical response of the oceanic lithosphere.  This student will the 
incorporate seismic results with computer simulations of lithospheric 
flexing under the load of the volcanoes to address issues related to 
geomagnetic observations as well as lithosphere rheology.  Applicants 
should have a strong background in math and physics; experience in 
computer modeling and programming is desirable. Contact Garrett Ito 
gito at hawaii.edu & Paul Wessel pwessel at hawaii.edu.

*Absolute plate motion over moving hotspots:* _A graduate student is 
sought to work on new methodologies to constrain absolute plate motion 
(APM)_ models, using a variety of geophysical data, and investigate the 
range of plume motion and true polar wander allowed by current data.  
Applicants should have good preparation in math and physics; experience 
in computer programming and data analysis is desirable. Contact Paul 
Wessel pwessel at hawaii.edu. Apply via: 
http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/GG/admissions/gg_admissions.html

*Tectonic reorganizations of the North Atlantic south of Iceland:* _A 
graduate student is sought who is interested in participating on a 
marine geophysical research cruise_ in Summer 2019 and working on 
magnetic anomaly, gravity and multibeam data to understand the tectonic 
evolution of the seafloor spreading system south of Iceland (the 
Reykjanes Ridge). A focus will be on how transform faults and other 
ridge axis discontinuities form, evolve and are eliminated. Applicants 
should have a good understanding of plate tectonic theory and background 
in math and physics; experience in computer programming is desirable. 
Contact Fernando Martinez: fernando at hawaii.edu.

Prospective students should apply via: 
http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/GG/admissions/gg_admissions.html. 
Applications are due January 15.
