*Postdoctoral Fellowship in Ambient Noise Seismology, Victoria
University of Wellington *
Applications are invited for the position of Postdoctoral Fellow,
Institute of Geophysics, Victoria University of Wellington. This is a
fixed-term position of up to 18 months commencing on 15 January 2010 (or
as soon as possible thereafter) and funded by a grant from the Marsden Fund.
The objectives of this study are to determine seismic wave speeds
throughout New Zealand using cross-correlated seismic noise; quantify
spatiotemporal variations in the seismic noise field in conjunction with
oceanic wave state data; and obtain anisotropic shear wave speed models
of the New Zealand plate boundary. The postdoctoral fellow will be
responsible primarily for work on the second of these objectives, and
work closely with colleagues at VUW and GNS Science.
The appointee will have experience in one or more of the following:
signal processing; acoustics; seismic beamforming; ambient noise
analysis; earthquake seismology. Applicants must have completed a PhD
or expect to do so by 1 January 2010. /Selection of the successful
applicant will commence on 30 November 2009./
