Successful<br>applicants will be joining a group of seismologists with interests in<br>various aspects of global and regional seismology (both observational and<br>theoretical) and computational geophysics, studying both Earth's structure<br>and seismic sources. For example, opportunities exist in exploiting large<br>volumes of passive data recorded by a rolling array to improve seismic<br>images of the Australian lithosphere and deep Earth structure, and<br>participating in the deployment of broadband transects across various parts<br>of Australia and consequent structural interpretation. <br><br>The applicants should have strong analytical and computational skills with<br>a background in physics, geophysics, mathematics, engineering, computer<br>science, or related fields. Once enrolled, all graduate students are<br>provided financial support for living expenses, including research stipend,<br>tuition and computer purchase/travel allowance.

The Australian National<br>University commands a magnificent position in the centre of the nation's<br>capital, Canberra, between lake and mountain. Canberra is also the cultural<br>heart of Australia, with the National Gallery of Australia, the High Court<br>of Australia and the National Museum of Australia, all a short distance from<br>the city centre. The city is situated about two hours drive from the<br>beautiful beaches of the South Coast of New South Wales, about two<br>hours drive to the Snowy Mountains and Mt Kosciusko ski fields, about three <br>hours drive from Sydney, and about seven hours drive from Melbourne. <br><br>For additional information, please contact: <br><br>Hrvoje Tkalcic at <a href="mailto:Hrvoje.Tkalcic@anu.edu.au">Hrvoje.Tkalcic@anu.edu.au</a><br><br>or<br><br>Nicholas Rawlinson at <a href="mailto:Nicholas.Rawlinson@anu.edu.au">Nicholas.Rawlinson@anu.edu.au</a> <div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
