Thread: Postdoctoral position and PhD at the University of Otago (Topics: earthquake detection/slow slip detection/statistical modelling of seismic swarms)

Dear Colleagues,

We seek motivated individuals with a background in statistical or
computational modelling of earthquake or slow slip events and a strong
academic record to participate in a collaborative and international
research programme. Research projects will utilize computational or
statistical techniques to acquire a complete catalogue of slow slip
events (SSEs) and seismic swarms on and around New Zealand’s Hikurangi
subduction margin and investigate the occurrence patterns of these
events. Further details and information on how to apply can be found here:

The successful applicants will be working with Associate Professor Ting
Wang (University of Otago), Professor Mark Stirling (University of
Otago), Dr Laura Wallace (GNS Science), Dr Calum Chamberlain (Victoria
University of Wellington), Professor Mark Bebbington (Massey
University), and Dr Matt Gerstenberger (GNS Science).

Research topics for the postdoctoral and PhD positions will include:
-    Detection of slow slip events and their occurrence patterns
-    Earthquake detection and identification of seismic swarms
-    Stochastic modelling of seismic swarms

We offer two positions beginning as early as January 2023:
•    one two-year postdoctoral fellow position
•    one three-year PhD position
