The postdoctoral position is a part of the project “Surface wave tomography for Norway and adjacent areas” funded by the Research Council of Norway. It aims at conducting a tomographic study of the crust and upper mantle under Norway and adjacent areas using seismological broadband recordings of surface waves and S-waves. The project will complement on-going similar studies in the Arctic region, in Northern Germany-Southern Sweden and in Finland. Data recorded at permanent stations will be used in combination with data from two mobile networks. The candidate must have completed a PhD or equivalent degree in seismology by the time of appointment and have experience with analysis of broadband seismological data and/or tomographic methods. Experience with surface wave data is an advantage. Applications should include a statement of interest indicating a preferred starting date, curriculum vitae, a list of published and unpublished works and the names and addresses of two referees. One set of certified copies of certificates should also be submitted. The application should also include copies of the applicants’ three most significant publications and a summary of the importance of these works.
