[iris-bulk] (Job) USGS Mendenhall postdoc opportunity

[IRIS]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to let you know about an exciting USGS Mendenhall  
Postdoctoral Opportunity that may be of interest to students or  
postdocs.  The USGS, in collaboration with the University of Alabama,  
is seeking applicants to conduct postdoctoral research on the magma  
plumbing system of Kilauea volcano, which is currently experiencing an  
unprecedented eruptive episode involving vents at both its summit and  
east rift zone.

The goal of the project is the development and implementation of  
conceptually and physically realistic models of Kilauea's shallow  
magmatic system that build on existing knowledge of the volcano and  
that quantitatively predict the spatial and temporal patterns of  
recently observed volcanic activity, seismicity, and deformation. We  
seek a researcher who will develop innovative models that take  
advantage of the vast archive of geophysical and geological data at  
Kilauea, and who will employ new cutting-edge data streams, for  
example, PS InSAR, high-rate GPS, gravity, or array seismology.

The Mendenhall program is an exceptional opportunity to conduct  
research with the USGS and includes full salary and project funding  
for two years (with a possible extension for two additional years).   
If you are interested in more information about this project, please  
don’t hesitate to contact any one of the project supervisors (listed  
below), and visit both the Mendenhall Program website (http://geology.usgs.gov/postdoc/ 
) as well as the website for this specific research opportunity (http://geology.usgs.gov/postdoc/2010/opps/opp31.html 
).

The application deadline for this opportunity is November 12, 2008.   
The successful applicant will be expected to have completed their PhD  
and start work at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory in late 2009 or  
early 2010.

Many thanks,

Mike Poland (mpoland at usgs.gov)
