PhD or Postdoctoral Fellow position in Lithosphere Extension-Inversion Tectonics
The Geodynamics Group at Bergen University, Norway, is looking for a PhD candidate or
Postdoctoral fellow in the field of Lithosphere Extension-Inversion Tectonics.
Project description
A PhD (4 years) or Postdoctoral Fellow (3 years) position in Lithosphere Extension and
Inversion Tectonics is available within the Geodynamics Group, Department of Earth Sciences,
University of Bergen. The position involves one or more of the following research themes:
1) the use of numerical models for both general/generic and case study problems of the
thermo-mechanics of extension and inversion tectonics, particularly in the context of
regional studies of passive continental margins; 2) the use of numerical models to study
processes related to localization of deformation; and 3) the application of the numerical
model results to case studies of sedimentary basin and passive margin formation processes
from offshore Norway. The core software will be based on modern computational solid and
fluid dynamics using finite element techniques.
