research on the region. The post is fixed term for 2 years, with the  
possibility of further funding.

A 38 station temporary network (NSF and NERC) of broadband  
seismometers will be deployed in northern Ethiopia from early  
November 2007 for 2 years. These recordings, combined with data from  
our previous network in Ethiopia (EAGLE project), will be used to  
study crust and upper mantle structure in the region. You should be  
knowledgeable in seismological analysis and have an interest in  
determining Earth structure. You will be based in Leeds at the School  
of Earth and Environment and will work with our seismological  
research group.

seismology or other relevant science discipline. You should have  
excellent communication skills including written and be prepared to  
carry out seismological fieldwork in northern Ethiopia.
