********************************************************************************** From: Costanza Bonadonna <Costanza.Bonadonna@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ********************************************************************************** The Department of Mineralogy of the University of Geneva (Switzerland) invites applications for a Postdoctoral position in geological fluid dynamics. The initial appointment will be for two years with a possible extension to three additional years. We also anticipate offering a permanent position in the next two years. Applicants must have a PhD in Earth Sciences or a related field at the time of appointment, as well as a significant record and/or promise of interdisciplinary research productivity. Suitable research backgrounds may include any combination of fluid dynamics, volcanology, experimental sedimentology, physics and experimental engineering. Evidence of strong mathematical/numerical skills is essential. Experience in the use of PIV systems and rheology studies are recommended. The principal responsibility of the successful candidate will be to set up a new fluid dynamics lab for the study of volcanic processes with a particular focus on plume dynamics and sedimentation of volcanic particles. The successful candidate will be responsible for the day-to-day support and running of the lab and will also be involved in the supervision of MSc and PhD research projects. As a result, he/she will play a fundamental role within the new research group of C. Bonadonna, which mainly investigates the dynamics and sedimentation from volcanic plumes and the associated hazards. Opportunities exist to collaborate with J. Phillips (University of Bristol, UK) on research projects. Applicants should supply (a) a curriculum vitae, including a list of publications, (b) a statement of past achievement and future research interests and goals and (c) postage addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of at least three references to: Costanza Bonadonna, Section des Sciences de la Terre, Université de Genève 13, rue des Maraîchers, CH-1205 Genève Email : Costanza.Bonadonna@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To receive full consideration, all materials must be received by 30 September 2007. Intended starting date is 1 March 2008 or earlier by arrangement. *************************************************************** Costanza Bonadonna Section des Sciences de la Terre Université de Genève 13, rue des Maraîchers CH-1205 Genève email Costanza.Bonadonna@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Phone +41 22 379 3055; FAX +41 22 379 3210 Secr. +41 22 379 6624 (Mdm.
