<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">PhD and MS positions in volcano and near-surface seismology<br>are open within the Center for the Geophysical Investigation <br>of the Shallow Subsurface (CGISS) at Boise State University. <br>The research program includes ambient noise seismology at <br>volcanoes, volcanic tremor analysis and location, multicomponent <br>surface wave inversion, and 3D seismic modeling. Competitive <br>financial support (tuition, stipend and health insurance) is <br>available for the top candidate(s).<br><br>The research in volcano seismology seeks a broad understanding <br>of dynamic processes at volcanoes, a synthesis of seismological <br>results with information from other available data streams (e.g., <br>InSAR, GPS, and infrasound), and the creation of new methods and <br>techniques to monitor active volcanoes. A primary focus is on <br>the use of ambient seismic noise in volcano seismology. The <br>project will be supplemented by interaction and collaboration <br>with geoscientists at volcano observatories.<br><br>Investigations in near-surface seismology aim to characterize <br>the heterogeneous shallow subsurface through 3D surface wave <br>inversion/tomography and the analysis of multiply-scattered waves. <br>The nearby Boise Hydrogeophysical Research Site (BHRS) serves as <br>a key test facility where seismic results can be interpreted <br>alongside an existing suite of hydrological and electromagnetic <br>data. Application of this research also involves the mapping <br>of near-surface structure to improve imaging in active source <br>seismology.<br><br>Please contact Matt Haney (<a href="mailto:matt@cgiss.boisestate.edu">matt@cgiss.boisestate.edu</a>) for more <br>information about these positions, or visit:<br><br><a href="http://pal.boisestate.edu/mediawiki/index.php/Matt_Haney">http://pal.boisestate.edu/mediawiki/index.php/Matt_Haney</a><br><br>More information about the Geosciences Department at Boise State <br>and CGISS can be found at:<br><br><a href="http://earth.boisestate.edu/">http://earth.boisestate.edu/</a><br><br>and<br><br><a href="http://cgiss.boisestate.edu/">http://cgiss.boisestate.edu/</a><br><div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
