Two Research Associates in Statistical Geophysics
Two statisticians or statistical geophysicists are required to quantify
and determine the significance of correlations in time series for
earthquakes and subsurface fluid flow, funded by three major research
projects: EU ‘TRIGS’; EU ‘NERIES’, and UK DTI ‘RESURGE’. In these
projects we are interested in quantifying the response of the Earth to
perturbations in stress, either natural or man-made, with a view to
being able to predict this response more accurately and reliably. You
will use state of the art statistical correlation and regression
techniques to quantify this response, with a view to understanding and
predicting the response of the Earth to stress changes of different
types. You will have rigorous experience of multivariate regression and
a good understanding of Bayesian methods. Previous experience of
geophysical time series analysis would be useful although not a
requirement. Applications are welcome at both postgraduate and
post-doctoral level, with the former being eligible to register
part-time for PhD study.
The appointment is from 1 April 2007 to 31 May 2009.
Salary scale: Grade 6: £22,111-£25,633
