[iris-bulk] (Job) post-doc position in seismology & geodynamics - University of Hawaii-Manoa

[IRIS]

Postdoctoral Position in Seismology and Geodynamics
University of Hawaii-Manoa, Honolulu

A postdoctoral research position is available to conduct research on  
the upper mantle dynamics of plume-plate interaction using geodynamic- 
based solutions to seismic observations of the Iceland hotspot.  The  
project involves creating geodynamic models of mantle convection to  
predict anisotropic seismic velocity structure, and then simulating  
seismic wave propagation to generate synthetic data for quantitative  
comparisons with observations.  The successful applicants will have  
experience in computational geophysics either related to mantle  
convection and/or seismic wave propagation, and have written  
manuscripts in these or related fields.  We seek an ambitious,  
creative, and independent researcher who is eager to collaborate with  
our multidisciplinary team of geodynamicists (Garrett Ito) and  
seismologists (Robert Dunn and Aibing Li).

The position begins in Sept 2009 (negotiable), last for one or more  
years contingent on an annual evaluation, and comes with a stipend of  
about $49 K per year. Applicants must have completed their Ph. D. by  
the time they are appointed.  Apply electronically by sending a cover  
letter briefly stating research interests and CV, which includes a  
publication list and contact information for at least 3 references.

Send formal or informal inquiries to: Prof. Garrett Ito, University of  
Hawaii, gito at hawaii.edu,www.soest.hawaii.edu/GG/FACULTY/ITO
