3 Positions Available at the Southampton Oceanography Centre
The NERC funded Challenger Division for Seafloor
Processes at the SOC is establishing a new team to investigate the
structural development of ocean margins and the high resolution signals of
sedimentary processes which can be determined from 3D seismic data. This
new team will be
expected to work together on the Division's core strategic programme,
investigating continental
margin problems and interacting strongly with industry. The work will be
closely tied to on-going sedimentary process studies in the Challenger
Division and to the geophysics group within the School
of Ocean and Earth Sciences. Although the posts will be primarily research
based, you will be
expected to supervise PhD students and will be encouraged to participate
in MSc level teaching.
Research Director/Structural Geologist, Ref: 01E/533
The role of this post is to increase understanding
of ocean basin/continental margin evolution. You will be expected to
address major scientific problems in continental margin geology. This will
involve obtaining funding from a variety of sources e.g. EC and industrial
partners. The postholder will be expected to manage a new team of 3
scientists plus a technician and to supervise MSc and PhD level
postgraduate students. The successful candidates for this post will have a
broad knowledge of
geophysical/geological techniques and data interpretation, a PhD plus 5-10
years relevant experience, a strong publication record and the ability to
lead research projects and manage research teams.
3D Seismic Geophysicist, Ref: 01E/535
The primary role of this post is to undertake
innovative scientific research using 3D seismic reflection data. In
particular, to apply 3D interpretation to scientific problems related to
the sedimentology and structure of continental margins and ocean basins.
You will be expected to develop links and
co-operative projects with the hydrocarbon industry, liase closely with the
sedimentary processes
group in the Challenger Division, and contribute where appropriate to
teaching and supervision of
MSc and PhD level postgraduate students. Suitable candidates will have a
PhD and 2 years relevant
experience in 3D seismic interpretation, the ability to direct research
projects involving 3D datasets
(suitable, more experienced candidates could also be considered for the
'Research Director' role
defined above).
Post 3 Electromagnetic Geophysicist, Ref: 01E/534
The role of this post is to carry out research in
seafloor controlled-source electromagnetic sounding. You will be expected
to contribute to development of methodology and technology for seafloor EM
sounding, including software tools for modelling and inversion, devise and
lead innovative research
projects, and obtain research funding from academic and industrial
sources. Suitable candidates will
have an honours degree in Physics or Geophysics, a relevant PhD, and 2
years experience of EM
forward and inverse geophysical numerical modelling.
Salary for post Ref: 01E/533 in the range of £30,819 - £38,603 per annum
on Research Grade 3.
Salary for posts Ref: 01E/534/535 in the range of £17,626 - £32,537 per
annum on Research Grade
1A/2, dependent on experience and qualifications.
