[iris-bulk] (Job) Volcano-seismologist, Montserrat

[Rod Stewart]

The Seismic Research Centre of the University of the West Indies
invites applications for a position of Research Fellow in
Volcano-Seismology for specific assignment to the Montserrat Volcano
Observatory. The post is offered on a three year fixed term, full-time
basis with the option of extension.

Applicants must have a PhD in Earth Sciences or a related field at the
time of appointment. A background in seismology is essential, preferably
volcano-seismology. Evidence of strong mathematical/numerical skills,
experience in the use of volcano monitoring techniques and residential
experience at a volcano observatory are desired.

The principal responsibility of the successful candidate will be to
assist with the monitoring of the ongoing eruption of the Soufriere
Hills Volcano on Montserrat.  The successful candidates will be
responsible for leading the monitoring and research efforts at the MVO
in seismology.

Full details of this and other opportunities at SRC are posted on the
SRC website, www.uwiseismic.com. Note that the deadline for this post
has been extended until it is fulled.

Applicants should note that for the next five years the Montserrat
Volcano Observatory (MVO) will be jointly managed by the UWI Seismic
Research Centre (SRC) and the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris
(IPGP).  This brings the Caribbean's only currently erupting volcano
back under the watch of regional scientists and provides significant
opportunities for advancing geoscience research in the region.
