We are interested in a scientist to conduct research on such topics as earthquake source properties, integration of EarthScope GPS and strainmeter data with earthquakes and volcanic manifestations, volcano-fault stress interactions, deformation modeling, geodynamics, etc. A rich source of data is available from the University of Utah Yellowstone seismic network as well data from the EarthScope PBO GPS and borehole strainmeter arrays and the USArray seismic network (see <a href="http://www.uusatrg.utah.edu">www.uusatrg.utah.edu</a>, <a href="http://www.seis.utah.edu">www.seis.utah.edu</a> and <a href="http://www.earthscope.org/">http://www.earthscope.org</a>). Interaction with students, faculty and with the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (a partnership of the Univ. of Utah, the USGS, and Yellowstone National Park) as well as participation in earthquake response and interpretation needs is expected. Computing experience with the Linux/Unix operating system is required.<br><br>Applicants must have a Ph.D. in geophysics or closely related field. Appointment will be for one year beginning summer 2008 or negotiable, with continuation contingent upon performance and funding. Applicants should email Robert B. Smith, (<a href="mailto:rbsmith@earth.utah.edu">rbsmith@earth.utah.edu</a>): 1) a letter of application including a statement of research interests and how the applicant is qualified to conduct the above research, 2) a current curriculum vitae, and 3) names and email addresses of three persons who can provide recommendations for the candidate.
