Dear all,
The Centre for Geodynamics at the Geological Survey of Norway is looking
for a postdoc for a project that investigates geodynamic aspects of the
life cycle of a subduction zone. I would appreciate it if you could
bring this advertisement to the attention of potential candidates.
More details can be found in the text of the advertisement below or
under www.ngu.no/vacancies. You can also contact me
(susanne.buiter(at)ngu.no, please not by direct reply to this message).
With best wishes,
Susanne Buiter

The Geological Survey of Norway (NGU), based in Trondheim, is the
central national institute for knowledge of the bedrock, mineral
resources, surface deposits and groundwater of mainland Norway and of
the near-surface geology of the Norwegian continental shelf. The
Survey's tasks include geological, geophysical and geochemical mapping,
development and maintenance of databases, research, information
activities and advice to governmental bodies and industry. The NGU staff
of 225 includes representatives of 22 nationalities and 65% of the staff
are scientists. For general information about NGU's organisation and
mandate, please see www.ngu.no
The Centre for Geodynamics at NGU invites applicants for:
1 Post-doc fellowship in Geodynamics for 3 years
The position will be part of a project funded by the Norwegian research
council aimed at investigating geodynamic aspects of the life cycle of a
subduction zone. The project will use and develop numerical models to
study the evolution of subduction, terrane accretion and collision.
Collaborations with national and international institutes is expected,
such as through the EU Network Crust-to-Core (www.c2c-rtn.eu) that
focuses on the role of mineralogy and rheology in subduction zones.
The Centre for Geodynamics at NGU (www.geodynamics.no) investigates the
dynamics of lithosphere and mantle and their relation to plate motions
through palaeomagnetic methods, marine geophysical techniques and the
development of new modelling and visualisation software.
The successful candidate should preferably have a background in Earth
Sciences or Physics and have experience in computational methods (e.g.
finite element or finite difference methods) and/or have a solid
understanding of geological and geodynamic aspects of subduction zones.
Applicants must have completed their Ph.D. education at the time the
position starts.
NGU encourages applications from female scientists. We can offer a
favourable working environment, unique scientific challenges and good
possibilities for international collaborations. A kindergarten is run by
and for NGU employees.
For further information, please contact Dr. Susanne Buiter (+47 73
904265, susanne.buiter(at)ngu.no) or the Director of the Geoscience
division Øystein Nordgulen, + 47 73 90 4245,
oystein.nordgulen(at)ngu.no).
Applicants should send (1) a curriculum vitae, (2) a list of
publications, (3) a statement of research interests and (4) the names
and e-mail addresses of two persons willing to write a reference in one
PDF-file, to www.ngu.no/vacancies. The deadline for applications is 15
May 2008 and the position can start any time between Spring and Autumn.
The application procedure remains open until the position is filled.
