[iris-bulk] (Job) Two post doctoral research positions

[IRIS]

Two post doctoral research positions: the simultaneous development of  
seismicity and permeability in basement-hosted faults.

The Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Strathclyde  
and the Department of Geographical and Earth Sciences at the  
University of Glasgow invite applications for 2 post-doctoral  
research assistants to work on the simultaneous development of  
seismicity and permeability in basement-hosted faults. These posts  
are funded by a NERC grant awarded to Dr Becky Lunn and Dr Zoe  
Shipton. We require: (1) a numerical modeller; and (2) a structural  
geologist, to work closely together as part of a multidisciplinary  
team investigating the coupled effects of fault growth, fluid flow  
and seismicity. These positions offer the opportunity to integrate  
structural and seismological analyses with state of the art  
mechanical and flow modelling to address processes of fault  
architectural development and the development of fault strength and  
permeability.

Post 1: a three-year position at the Department of Civil Engineering  
at the University of Strathclyde, will involve numerical modelling  
using an existing dynamic fracture propagation code, development of  
the code and seismological analysis of a suite of micro-earthquakes.  
Experience in numerical modelling and/or seismology and a proven  
track record of interdisciplinary and quantitative approaches are  
required.
Applicants should see http://www.mis.strath.ac.uk/Personnel/open/ 
r242007.htm for further details of post 1 and University of  
Strathclyde application forms.

Post 2: a two-year position at the Department of Geographical and  
Earth Sciences at the University of Glasgow, will involve structural  
mapping and characterisation of basement hosted faults and numerical  
modelling of the effect of host rock anisotropy. Preference will be  
given to applicants with experience in fault processes and fluid  
flow, and an aptitude for interdisciplinary and quantitative approaches.
Applicants should see http://www.gla.ac.uk/services/humanresources/

of Glasgow application forms.

Please contact Zoe Shipton (zoe.shipton at ges.gla.ac.uk) or Rebecca  
Lunn (rebecca.lunn at strath.ac.uk) for further details and see http:// 
www.ges.gla.ac.uk/faff for details of the research team. Closing date  
for applications is the 23rd April.
