The position is one of several temporary<br>positions that are or will be available in Norway, Denmark and The<br>Netherlands in the framework of the EUROCORES project TopoScandiaDeep.<br>Follow on <a href="http://www.geo.uio.no/TopoScandiaDeep">http://www.geo.uio.no/TopoScandiaDeep</a> where positions will be<br>posted. The overall objective of the project is to search in the<br>lithospheric structure for processes which can explain the origin of the<br>present high topography of the Scandinavian mountains.<br><br><br>In the present position, you will analyze broadband seismological data<br>newly acquired in Southern Norway in order to establish a seismic model<br>of the Scandinavian lithosphere. The emphasis will be on the analysis of<br>the capabilities of the seismological data in the noise frequency range<br>to constrain the crustal and sub-Moho seismic model.<br><br>Required qualifications: A PhD in seismology at the time of appointment.<br>Experience with surface wave tomography and/or analysis of noise is an<br>advantage, but all candidates with a different but strong background in<br>seismology and with demonstrated ability to adapt to new challenges will<br>be considered. Good communication skills, ability to work independently as well as to cooperate with international partners.<br><br>The University of Oslo wishes to recruit more women in research<br>positions. Women are encouraged to apply.<br><br>Closing date for application: Dec 1 2008.<br><br><br>See <a href="http://www.admin.uio.no/opa/ledige-stillinger/2008/vit/postdoctoralseismologyGeosciences-2008-19460.html">http://www.admin.uio.no/opa/ledige-stillinger/2008/vit/postdoctoralseismologyGeosciences-2008-19460.html</a> for further details.<br><br>-- --------------------------------------------------------------<br>Prof. Valerie Maupin Tel:(47) 228 55756<br>Dpt of Geosciences Fax:(47) 228 54215<br>University of Oslo<br>PO box 1047, Blindern<br>0316 Oslo Norway<br>-- <div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
