For this exciting project led by Guust Nolet, we are building up a new research group in global tomography at Geosciences Azur, which comprises the oceanographic observatory in Villefranche-sur-Mer; in particular we seek:<br><br>(a) an experienced seismologist or computational geophysicist with a proven research record and postdoctoral experience in seismology, wavelet theory and/or high performance computing. Depending on his/her expertise and interests, the succesful applicant will be in charge of one or more crucial aspects of the program and pursue an active research program in global seismic tomography. This is a temporary position that can be extended at least for the duration of the project (5 years). Requirements: A PhD, preferably with two years of postdoctoral or equivalent experience. Experience with software development on compute clusters is desirable, as well as a reasonable understanding of French.<br><br>(b) a postdoc with experience in the analysis of seismic surface waves and/or normal modes. He/she will expand the data base with low frequency seismic data and interface this with existing inversion software as well as with new, wavelet-based tomographic algorithms, both using parallel programming (MPI). This aspect of the project involves collaborations with Dr. Karin Sigloch at the Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich, Prof. Ingrid Daubechies at Princeton and Prof. Ying Zhou at Virginia Tech.<br>This is a one-year position that can be extended once, depending on performance. Requirements: PhD and experience in low-frequency seismology.<br><br>(c) a postdoc with experience in ocean acoustics or marine seismology. The succesful applicant will work with the engineer responsible for the technical development of underwater acoustic floats, be conducting tests and collect ocean acoustic noise data, analyse their variability and develop algorithms for the automatic detection of P-wave arrivals with low signal/noise ratio. The project involves collaboration with Prof. Frederik Simons at Princeton University. This is a one-year position that can be extended once, depending on performance. Requirements: PhD and experience in signal processing. Experience with seagoing campaigns desirable.<br><br>(d) An engineer with experience in ocean acoustics and/or OBS deployment. The succesful applicant will conduct the development, construction and deployment of sensors for submarine seismology. This is a temporary position that can be extended at least for the duration of the GLOBALSEIS project (5 years).<br><br>For more information about each of these positions, please contact Guust Nolet (<a href="mailto:nolet@geoazur.unice.fr">nolet@geoazur.unice.fr</a>). For technical questions regarding the engineer position contact Yann Hello (<a href="mailto:yann.hello@geoazur.obs-vlfr.fr">yann.hello@geoazur.obs-vlfr.fr</a>).<br><br><div>To apply:<br>Applicants should email a PDF file with a personal statement describing experience and interests, a curriculum vitae, and the names, phone numbers and email addresses of three references, to Guust Nolet (<a href="mailto:nolet@geoazur.unice.fr">nolet@geoazur.unice.fr</a>).
