Apologies for any cross-postings:
----------------------------------
The Institute of Geophysics and Tectonics, within the School of Earth and
Environment at the University of Leeds wishes to appoint a Post-doctoral Fellow
in Tectonophysics, for a period of 2 years commencing May 2009. The appointment
will be at Grade 7 (currently 29,704 to 35,469 p.a.).
The Institute has a strong international research profile in the geophysical
sciences, with particular strengths in seismology and tectonophysics. The new
Research Fellow is required to work on a new project funded by the UK Natural
Environment Research Council as part of the Dynamic Earth Theme of the newly
created National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO) . The focus of the
project is on understanding the deformation fields associated with the
earthquake cycle and comparing numerical simulations of deformation with
available observations.
The successful candidate is expected to have a PhD in some aspect of numerical
modelling of continuum dynamics applied to problems in earth science (or a
closely related area), experience with code development in the framework of a
scientific computing environment, good communication skills, and ability to
work as part of a team. The Research Fellow is expected to contribute to the
development and maintenance of a library of parallelized computational software
used for the solution of continuum dynamics problems, to publish research
papers, and to present their research at national and international meetings.
Applications including CV, publication list, and names and addresses of three
referees should be received by March 31, 2009. Information about the School
can be found at http://www.see.leeds.ac.uk. Application forms and further
particulars may be obtained from Mrs K. Higham, School of Earth and
Environment, The University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, UK
