The following qualifications are also desired: Peer-reviewed publications; five or more years working at computational research positions in academic institutions or government laboratories; demonstrated research experience in the Earth and planetary sciences (e.g., geodynamics, climate dynamics, seismology and exploration geophysics, or dynamo studies); demonstrated success in preparing proposals in competitive funding environments; and proficiency in more than one programming language. About UTIG UTIG (http://ig.utexas.edu/) is a world leader in expeditionary-scale and theoretical geophysical research in climate; energy; marine geosciences, seismology and geodynamics; and planetary and polar geophysics. UTIG is home to more than 50 research scientists and postdocs who interact with the Jackson School of Geosciences and UT Austin’s other units, including the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) and the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences (ICES). Austin is consistently ranked one of top cities to live in the U.S. and is home to a thriving art, music, and IT community. How to apply Application material should include a CV with list of publications or other products, a maximum two-page statement of research achievements and interests, and a list of three potential reference letter writers. Review of material will start on April 15, 2018, and the position will remain open until filled. Questions should be directed to the chair of the search committee, Thorsten Becker, at twb at ig.utexas.edu. UTIG is interested in building a culturally diverse intellectual community; we strongly encourage applications from like-minded people. UTIG is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer. ​​ https://findajob.agu.org/job/8004929/computational-geoscientist/ ​ Thorsten Becker - UTIG & DGS, JSG, UT Austin Thorsten Becker - UTIG & DGS, JSG, UT Austin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Padovan Co-conveners: A. Rozel, K. Soderlund, B. Schmidt, N. Tosi, T. Ruedas, L. Noack Constraints derived from geodetic (e.g., gravitational field, obliquity, rotation rate, libration amplitudes), geochemical (e.g., surface composition, formation models), geological (e.g., surface age, stratigraphy, and morphology), seismological, and magnetic observations are routinely used to investigate various aspects of terrestrial bodies, dwarf planets, and icy satellites. How can all this information be combined to provide a global picture of the interior structure and history of a planet? Given that different observables are available for different planets, how is the investigation carried out for different bodies? This session welcomes contributions, from any field of the planetary sciences, focused on approaches to investigate the global properties of terrestrial planets and icy satellites using numerical modeling, experiments, and available or expected data from current or forthcoming planetary missions. For session details and abstract submission: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EPSC2018/session/29926 Abstract submission deadline: 16 May 2018, 13:00 CEST. Please, feel free to forward this message to interested people in the field. If you have any further questions please contact the Convener or Co-conveners. We look forward to seeing you in Berlin, Best regards, Sebastiano, Antoine, Krista, Britney, Nicola, Thomas, Lena (conveners) -- orcid.org/0000-0002-7739-1412 From ljhwang at ucdavis.edu Tue Apr 24 09:19:35 2018 From: ljhwang at ucdavis.edu (Lorraine Hwang) Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2018 09:19:35 -0700 Subject: [CIG-MC] CGU Early Bird Registration - FRIDAY April 27; ASPECT Tutorial Message-ID: Attending 2018 CGU Joint Meeting with CIG?
