[iris-bulk] Postdoctoral Research Position/University of Colorado

[Anne Sheehan]

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITION/UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO

A postdoctoral research position in seismology at the University of Colorado at
Boulder will be available starting in January 2010. The position is associated
with the Bighorns EarthScope project, an integrated geological and geophysical
investigation of contractional basement-involved foreland arches. 

The research in the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Arch of northern Wyoming and southern
Montana combines geological investigations of surface geometries and kinematic
indicators with geophysical imaging of 3D crustal and upper mantle geometries
from a densely sampled active/passive seismic experiment. 

The postdoctoral researcher will work on developing and testing methods for
combining active and passive source seismic data to produce high resolution
images of the crust and upper mantle, with particular emphasis on crustal
anisotropy and the depth extent of faults and distributed deformation.
