Dear all,

Correction on earlier advertisement. All 4 positions for this project are still open.
That is: with the extended deadline less then 2 weeks away, we would like to advertise once more 1 PhD and 3 three-year postdoctoral researcher positions in the multi-rift project. The full advertisement text is below.

Best wishes,
Ritske Huismans

3 postdoctoral fellowships and 1 research fellow (PhD position) available in the MultiRifts Project, Department of Earth Science, University of Bergen

The MultiRifts Project is a new three-year collaborative research effort by the Universities of Bergen, Oslo, Manchester and Imperial College London and is funded by the Research Council of Norway through the Petromaks programme and Statoil ASA. The project will investigate the structural, topographic and sedimentary development of rift basins and normal fault zones where pre-existing structure heterogeneity within the basement and/or cover affect rift and normal growth. The project will be organized in three themes:

Theme 1: Analysis of subsurface data from the North Sea rift system.
Theme 2: Numerical modelling of pre-existing structural control on rift and normal fault evolution.
Theme 3: Numerical modelling of fault growth and surface processes.

We are seeking highly motivated candidates with proven research potential for the following positions:
1. Research fellow (PhD candidate) in Theme 1. Structural geology of multiphase rift basins (based on subsurface data analysis)

Theme Leaders: Professor Haakon Fossen, Associate Professor Atle Rotevatn and Professor Rob Gawthorpe (e-mail: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>)
Details on this position can be found at: http://www.jobbnorge.no/job.aspx?jobid=88108

2. Postdoctoral fellow in Theme 1. Structural geology of multiphase rift basins (based on subsurface data analysis)

Theme Leaders: Professor Haakon Fossen, Associate Professor Atle Rotevatn, Professor Rob Gawthorpe (e-mail: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>)

3. Postdoctoral fellow in Theme 2. Coupled 2D and 3D geodynamic and surface process modelling of rift basins

Theme Leader: Professor Ritske Huismans (e-mail: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>)
Details on this position can be found at: http://www.jobbnorge.no/job.aspx?jobid=88121

4. Postdoctoral fellow in Theme 3. Syn-rift surface processes

Theme Leader: Professor Patience Cowie (e-mail: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>)
Details on this position can be found at: http://www.jobbnorge.no/job.aspx?jobid=88100

There is a common deadline for all applications of 1 february 2013.
