Dear All,
I have just received this notification of a PhD vacancy. Please pass
to anyone you know who might be interested. Note the cross-disciplinary
nature of the project - it might be suitable for a student with a
joint honours computing/geoscience degree, or with a BSc in one and
MSc in the other of geoscience and computing.
Regards,
Sheila.

> A three-year PhD studentship is available at the University of Leeds
> (UK) to develop novel methods for analysing and visualising 3D seismic

> improve the ability of geoscientists to understand and analyse the
> geology revealed by large scale seismic surveys. Significant potential
> exists for industrial involvement both during the project and after PhD
> completion, but also for academic advancement.

> The PhD student will be co-supervised by Dr Roy Ruddle & Dr Hamish Carr
> (Visualization & Virtual Reality research group, School of Computing)
> and Dr Douglas Paton (Centre of Integrated Petroleum Engineering and
> Geoscience (CiPEG), School of Earth and Environment). Roy Ruddle
> specialises in navigation and real-time interaction with 3D worlds
> (http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/royr). Hamish Carr specialises in geometric
> and topological analysis of spatial data sets
> (http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/scshca). Douglas Paton specialises in using
> 3D seismic to understand tectonic and geological processes in the
> sub-surface.

> The PhD studentship is worth a total of approximately £66,000, and
> includes full fees for a UK/EU student and a three and a half year
> stipend that is initially £13,490 per annum. Start date Monday 27th
