Subject: Post-doctoral Research Fellowship in Geodynamics at the Universityof Oslo
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:38:30 +0200
From: Susanne Buiter <[log in to unmask]>


Posted on behalf of Trond Torsvik ([log in to unmask]) and Bernhard
Steinberger ([log in to unmask]) Please direct enquiries to
Trond or Bernhard!


A POSITION AS POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOW (SKO 1352) in Geodynamics
(Absolute plate motions and dynamic topography of Europe) is available
at the Physics of Geological processes (PGP), a Center of Excellence
under the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of
Oslo

http://www.fys.uio.no/pgp/index.php

The candidate must have a PhD (or other corresponding education
equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree) in Geophysics/Geodynamics.

We are looking for highly motivated and competent candidates within the
fields of mantle dynamics, dynamic topography and/or plate tectonic
modelling.

The Center of Excellence for the Physics of Geological Processes (PGP)
at the University of Oslo is seeking a post-doctoral candidate to
participate in the TOPO-Europe related project "Mantle forcing of Earth
surface evolution in Europe and the Mediterranean: From Past to Present
(TOPO-4D)" - a collaborative project between six academic institutions
in Europe. The PGP component of the project "Absolute plate motions and
dynamic topography of Europe" aims to use novel interpretations of slab
remnants in the upper and lower mantle to relate plate reconstructions
to a mantle reference frame. This provides the link between the European
plate and underlying mantle through time and allows for realistic
calculations of the evolution of dynamic topography based on
back-in-time integration of the convection equations starting from
mantle structure as imaged by tomography. PGP tasks include (1) Refining
Mediterranean plate tectonic models and construct oceanic paleo-age
grids, (2) Reconstructing Europe (past 100 Myr) in an absolute mantle
reference frame, (3) Testing plate tectonic models against seismic
tomography models, and (4) Calculating European dynamic topography in
the present and past. We are seeking an outstanding and highly motivated
researcher to participate in this international collaboration. Numerical
modelling experience and programming skills are required and we expect
the applicant's experience to include modelling of mantle dynamics,
dynamic topography and/or modelling of plate tectonic kinematics.

The successful candidate will work in a lively cross-disciplinary and
international environment (fourteen nationalities are currently
represented in PGP). PGP is a new cross-disciplinary science centre at
the interface between physics and geology where integrated field,
experimental, theoretical, and computer modeling studies approach
geological processes. He or she will be based in Oslo, but will be
expected to travel occasionally to work with the international
collaborators. Professor Trond H. Torsvik will lead the project.

Please also refer to the regulations pertaining to the conditions of
employment for academic positions:
http://www.uio.no/admhb/reglhb/personal/tilsettingvitenskapelig/index.xml

UiO has an agreement for all employees, aiming to secure rights to
research results a.o. The University of Oslo wants to have more women in
academic positions. Women are therefore encouraged to apply.

Pay Grade: 57 - 64  (NOK 434.500 - 496.100 depending on qualifications
and seniority)

The position is available for a period of 3 years and with a starting
date October-November 2009.

Closing date for applications:  15 july 2009

REF. NO: 2009/7153

The application must include:

·Application letter

·CV (summarizing education, positions, pedagogical experience,
administrative experience and other qualifying activity)

·Copies of educational certificates, letters of recommendation, and a
list of reference persons containing at least two academic references
(name, position, e-mail and telephone number)

·A complete list of publications and all academic work that the
applicant wishes to be considered by the evaluation committee

·Names and contact information of two references.

Please remember that all documents should be in English or a
Scandinavian language.

The application (in English or in a Scandinavian language) marked with
reference number: 2009/7153 and including the requested attachments
should be sent to: The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences,
Attn: Gro Corell, P.O Box 1032 Blindern, NO-0315 Oslo, Norway. The
application may also be sent by email to: [log in to unmask]

In order for the application to be processed properly it must be
complete; containing all the requested documentation. NB: Remember to
always put the ref.no. in 'Subject',

Application documents will not be returned with exception of original
publications.
