[IRIS] (Job) Postdoctoral Position in Seismology/Dynamics of Yellowstone

[IRIS]

The University of Utah Department of Geology and Geophysics has  
reopened applications for a postdoctoral associate working in  
seismology and dynamics of the Yellowstone hotspot and its magmatic- 
tectonic system.  We are especially interested in candidates who can  
conduct original research on such topics as integrated interpretation  
of seismic and GPS data, crustal deformation and earthquake  
transients, earthquake source properties, fault-volcano stress  
interaction, dynamics of plume-plate interaction, tomography, etc.   
The position requires analysis of seismic data and fieldwork.  
Computing experience with the Linux/Unix operating system is  
required.  Interaction with students and faculty and with the  
Yellowstone Volcano Observatory is expected.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in geophysics or closely related field.  
The appointment will be for one-year starting fall 2006-winter 2007,  
with continuation contingent upon performance and funding.   
Applicants should email Robert B. Smith, (r.smith at earth.utah.edu): 1)

and how the applicant is qualified to conduct research in one of the  
above or other topics, 2) a curriculum vitae, and 3) names and email  
addresses of three persons who can provide recommendations for the
