[IRIS]

Doctoral (Ph.D.) fellowship in reservoir seismology

NORSAR / University of Oslo

NORSAR announces a Ph.D. fellowship in seismology, established for 4  
years and funded by the Petromaks program of the Research Council of  
Norway (75%) and NORSAR (25%). The position will be within a project,  
which in cooperation with the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI)  
and industrial partners is focussed on the investigation of micro- 
earthquakes in hydrocarbon reservoirs and other environments. The key  
features of the project are to develop new processing strategies for  
large passive-seismic data sets, event localization and waveform  
analyses including the decomposistion of source mechanism and  
propagation effects. Furthermore, the project will link seismological  
analyses with laboratory tests and numerical rupture modeling. The  
problems to be addressed connect seismology and rock mechanics.

Applicants should preferably have a background in seismology and  
experience in numerical wavefield modelling. Candidates with a  
background in applied mathematics, mechanics or geotechnical sciences  
will also be considered. Experience in computer programming (e.g.  
Fortran, C, C++, Matlab, Java) is mandatory. A separate application  
for acceptance to doctoral (Ph.D.) studies at the University of Oslo  
(UiO) must be approved within a 6-month trial period. The successful  
candidate is expected to work about 25% of the time on other projects  
within the same field.

More information about the project and the position can be obtained  
from Michael Roth or Volker Oye at NORSAR (tel. +47-63805900, fax  
+47-63818719, http://www.norsar.no).

interest, a CV, which must include complete information about  
education, documented scientific experience, and at least two  
academic references) should be submitted as soon as possible, and not  
later than 30. November 2006, to:
