[iris-bulk] (Job) Graduate study at Research School of Earth Sciences (Australia)

[IRIS]

Graduate study at Research School of Earth Sciences, the Australian
National University

One or more PhD Student Positions in Seismology are available at the
Research School of Earth Sciences at the Australian National University.
Applications and inquiries are invited from highly-qualified and  
motivated
students wishing to pursue a PhD degree in Seismology. Successful
applicants will be joining a group of seismologists with interests in
various aspects of global and regional seismology (both observational  
and
theoretical) and computational geophysics, studying both Earth's  
structure
and seismic sources. For example, opportunities exist in exploiting  
large
volumes of passive data recorded by a rolling array to improve seismic
images of the Australian lithosphere and deep Earth structure, and
participating in the deployment of broadband transects across various  
parts
of Australia and consequent structural interpretation.

The applicants should have strong analytical and computational skills  
with
a background in physics, geophysics, mathematics, engineering, computer
science, or related fields. Once enrolled, all graduate students are
provided financial support for living expenses, including research  
stipend,
tuition and computer purchase/travel allowance. Information about the
department and the application process can be found at
http://www.rses.anu.edu.au/students/index.php

ANU Geosciences has been rated as the top university program in  
Australia
and in the top ten of its class in the world. The Australian National
University commands a magnificent position in the centre of the nation's
capital, Canberra, between lake and mountain. Canberra is also the  
cultural
heart of Australia, with the National Gallery of Australia, the High  
Court
of Australia and the National Museum of Australia, all a short

beautiful beaches of the South Coast of New South Wales, about two
hours drive to the Snowy Mountains and Mt Kosciusko ski fields, about  
three
hours drive from Sydney, and about seven hours drive from Melbourne.
