Postdoctoral Fellow in Geodynamics
Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences
University of Houston

Description:
Postdoctoral researcher sought for independent research in subduction
dynamics. This could include 2D/3D numerical modeling of slab driven mantle
flow, slab-mantle coupling, slab-driven overriding plate deformation,
numerical solvers for complex rheological viscous flow problems, and/or 3D
visualization of mantle flow in subduction zones. Research could also be in
related fields that constrain/improve the construction, running, or
analysis of numerical simulations of subduction. Related experience could
include seismology, particularly that applied to the
interpretation/constraints on geodynamic models, such as seismic tomography
or shear wave splitting. Related experience could also include numerical
algorithms, optimization, designing scalable software, or three-dimensional
data visualization, with the interest to apply methods to geodynamics.

Position Information:
$45,000 USD/year for 1 year, with the possibility of renewal. Position
could start as early at September 1st, 2015.

Minimum Qualifications:
Ph.D. in the Geosciences (Geophysics and/or Geology), Computational
Science, or Mathematics.

Desired Skills:
Experience running or working with numerical models of subduction.
Experience with UNIX, High Performance Computing, and/or C. Preference is
for modeling experience with the Citcom* family of codes, but the
researcher can use their preferred code, as independent research is
welcome. If not a numerical modeler by trade, must have experience and/or
interest in collaborating with geodynamicists.

Application Materials:
(a) Cover Letter
(b) Curriculum Vitae
(c) Short Statement of Research Interests
(d) Contact Information for 3 references  (Name, address, email)

Please Send Application Materials as a Single PDF by July 25th to:
