[iris-bulk] Seismology posdoctoral position at Bristol

[George Helffrich]

Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Seismology (vacancy ref. 13006)

We are looking for a dynamic and highly motivated person to be part of 
a team working on a seismological investigation of the crust and mantle 
beneath Hudson Bay, Canada. The aim of the experiment is to test models 
of the evolution of intra-cratonic basins and the formation of 
continental roots. Seismic stations will be deployed around the 
northern edge of Hudson Bay and will compliment existing seismic 
networks in the region. The experiment is part of a large international 
collaboration, which involves seven institutions from three countries. 
You will be expected to deploy and service seismic stations in remote 
locations and you will be responsible for archiving and processing the 
seismic dataset. The project involves the analysis of teleseismic data 
to determine the velocity structure and anisotropy of the crust and 
mantle and you will be expected to have experience handling and 
processing such data. This will involve the coordination of various 
components of teleseismic data analysis; for example, travel-time 
tomography, SKS splitting, receiver functions and surface waves. It is 
expected that you will bring expertise to the project in one or more of 
these techniques.
