********************************************************************** From: Don Thomas <dthomas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ********************************************************************** The Center for the Study of Active Volcanoes Announces the availability of a Post Doctoral Fellowship for collaborative work with the US Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. Postdoctoral Research Seismologist, USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, Hawaii National Park, Hawai`i. Postdoctoral fellowship, Center for the Study of Active Volcanoes (CSAV), UH Hilo (UHH), to begin June 1, 2009, one-year appointment, renewal dependent on performance and availability of funds. The position is based at the United States Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO). We are looking for a motivated individual to work on a broad range of research topics in volcano seismology which will integrate and compliment ongoing HVO research topics such as algorithms for real-time earthquake location, shakemap generation, identifying and characterizing volcanic tremor sources, real-time quantification of station quality and network status, and a variety of imaging and tomographic techniques to constrain three-dimensional seismological structure using broadband and short-period seismic data. The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) monitors earthquakes and seismic activity on Hawai`i Island continuously and in real-time using a network of over 50 seismic stations to provide warnings of impending eruption and to assess seismic hazards in the State of Hawai`i. Thousands of earthquakes occur every year beneath the Island of Hawai`i providing an excellent dataset for a range of seismological studies. Qualifications: Ph. D. in seismology. Experience with real-time seismic data processing systems, digital signal processing, data visualization, and/or seismic imaging and tomographic techniques. Experience with field deployment of seismic equipment is also desirable. Minimum Stipend: $45,000 per year. To Apply: Submit letter of application, resume, and documentation of status of Ph.D. degree along with names of three professional references to: Dr. Donald Thomas, CSAV, University of Hawai`i at Hilo, 200 W. Kawili St., Hilo, HI 96720-4096 (dthomas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). Closing date for applications: May 8, 2009. ============================================================== To unsubscribe from the volcano list, send the message: signoff volcano to: listserv@xxxxxxx, or write to: volcano-request@xxxxxxxx To contribute to the volcano list, send your message to: volcano@xxxxxxxx Please do not send attachments. ==============================================================
