************************************************************** Vacancies at the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences ************************************************************** From: Daisy Mulholland <careers@xxxxxxxxxx> GNS Science, Te Pu Ao, is a Crown Research Institute. Our core purpose is to understand earth systems and physics-based technologies and to transform this knowledge into economic and social benefits for New Zealand. Within GNS Science, the Natural Hazards Group undertakes research into hazards and risks related to earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides and tsunami, is responsible through the GeoNet project for the monitoring of these hazards, and is also responsible for the national geological mapping programme. We have several vacancies which offer an interesting blend of scientific research and commercial consultancy opportunities. Volcano Scientist/Senior Volcano Scientist Taupo, New Zealand We are seeking a Scientist to undertake collaborative research into volcanic processes using a wide range of volcano datasets and assist in the management of volcano crisis response. The position could be filled at either a junior or senior level, depending upon experience. The successful applicant will be have a PhD and experience in volcano geology, vulcanology, volcano hazard and risk quantification or volcano crisis response. Volcano Geophysicist/Senior Volcano Geophysicist Taupo, New Zealand We are seeking a Scientist to undertake research into volcanic processes using seismological data (and other geophysical techniques) and assist in volcano crisis response. The position could be filled at either a junior or senior level, depending upon experience. The successful applicant will also contribute to the GeoNet project (www.geonet.org.nz) through being a member of the volcano duty team. The successful applicant will have a PhD and experience in volcano geophysics or seismology, and an ability to undertake research in earthquake waveform modelling. Remote-sensing/Geodetic Scientist Lower Hutt, New Zealand We are seeking a Scientist to undertake research into volcanic, tectonic and other surface change processes using remote-sensing and geodetic techniques. The successful candidate will provide scientific leadership in satellite and airborne remote sensing techniques and applications including delivery of appropriately derived information during a natural hazard emergency, and will participate in the interpretation of geodetic and remote sensing data from volcanic and other regions. The successful applicant will have a PhD in remote-sensing, geodesy, or geophysics and experience in satellite and/or airborne remote sensing techniques and experience in the use and interpretation of GPS data, and modelling and interpretation of volcano deformation. Research Geologist - Earthquake Geology & Paleoseismology Lower Hutt, New Zealand We are seeking a Geologist to work in a team of Earthquake Geologists and Researchers to work on research and consultancy projects in earthquake geology and paleoseismology, and their application to tectonics and hazard and risk assessment, both in New Zealand and offshore. For more information on the nature of the work please contact Andrew King (A.King@xxxxxxxxxx), Russ Van Dissen (R.VanDissen@xxxxxxxxxx) or Kelvin Berryman (K.Berryman@xxxxxxxxxx). The successful applicant will have a MSc or PhD degree in geology, with a good background in quaternary stratigraphy and dating, and active fault studies. If you are a team player with excellent communication skills and a "can do" attitude, have an interest in Earth Sciences and want to work for a dynamic, progressive, multi-cultural organisation then GNS Science could be the place for you.
