We are especially interested in scientists to conduct research on such topics as volcano-seismology, earthquake source properties, interpretation of GPS and strainmeter data, geodynamics of crust and mantle magma systems, integration of seismic and geodetic data, etc. A rich source of data is available from the University of Utah Yellowstone seismic and GPS networks as well EarthScope GPS and borehole strainmeter arrays focused on the magmatic and tectonic processes of the Yellowstone hotspot (see <a href="http://www.uusatrg.utah.edu/">www.uusatrg.utah.edu</a> and <a href="http://www.seis.utah.edu/">www.seis.utah.edu</a>).<div><br></div><div>Interaction with students and faculty and with the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory is expected. The associates will be expected to participate in earthquake and volcano response and interpretation needs. Computing experience with the Linux/Unix operating system is very useful. The expected starting salary is competitive, depending on qualifications and experience. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Geophysics or closely related field. Appointment will be for one-year beginning fall 2008/winter 2009 or negotiable, with continuation contingent upon performance and on funding. Applicants should email Robert B. Smith, (<a href="mailto:robert.b.smith@utah.edu">robert.b.smith@utah.edu</a>): 1) a letter of application including a statement of how the applicant is qualified to participate in the above research and specific research interests, 2) a curriculum vitae, and 3) names and email addresses of three persons who can provide recommendations for the candidate. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. The University of Utah is an equal opportunity employer.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
