[iris-bulk] (Job) Seismology postdoctoral position at Bristol

[IRIS]

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.
