[IRIS]

Postdoctoral Positions in Seismology, Geodesy and Geodynamics Studies  
of the Yellowstone Hotspot at the University of Utah.

The University of Utah invites applications for two Postdoctoral  
Fellows in seismology, geodesy (GPS, InSAR, etc.), and dynamics of the  
Yellowstone magmatic-tectonic system and its larger scale hotspot. We  
are especially interested in scientists to conduct research on such  
topics as volcano-seismology, earthquake source properties,  
interpretation of GPS and strainmeter data, geodynamics of crust and  
mantle magma systems, integration of seismic and geodetic data, etc. A  
rich source of data is available from the University of Utah  
Yellowstone seismic and GPS networks as well EarthScope GPS and  
borehole strainmeter arrays focused on the magmatic and tectonic  
processes of the Yellowstone hotspot (see www.uusatrg.utah.edu and www.seis.utah.edu 
).

Interaction with students and faculty and with the Yellowstone Volcano  
Observatory is expected. The associates will be expected to  
participate in earthquake and volcano response and interpretation  
needs. Computing experience with the Linux/Unix operating system is  
very useful. The expected starting salary is competitive, depending on  
qualifications and experience. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in  
Geophysics or closely related field. Appointment will be for one-year  
beginning fall 2008/winter 2009 or negotiable, with continuation  
contingent upon performance and on funding. Applicants should email  
Robert B. Smith, (robert.b.smith at utah.edu): 1) a letter of application  
including a statement of how the applicant is qualified to participate  
in the above research and specific research interests, 2) a curriculum  
vitae, and 3) names and email addresses of three persons who can  
provide recommendations for the candidate. Applications will be  
accepted until the position is filled. The University of Utah is an  
equal opportunity employer.
