******************************************************** From: Thóra Árnadóttir <thora1@xxxxx> ******************************************************** Apologies for any cross-postings: --------------------------------- Nordic Volcanological Center, Institute of Earth Sciences, University of Iceland. Applications are invited for a postdoctoral researcher to work within the crustal deformation group at Nordvulk/IES at the University of Iceland for 2 years. The candidate is expected to participate in one or more of the ongoing projects, which include: - studies of an ongoing earthquake sequence in the South Iceland Seismic Zone (two pairs of M6-6.5 events in 2000 and 2008) - measurements and modeling of glacial isostatic adjustments due to the rapid melting of glaciers in Iceland - interplay between volcanic unrest and seismic activity, possible triggering mechanisms - extensive expansion of the CGPS network in Iceland, including stations collecting data at 1Hz - comparison of temporal and spatial evolution of the state of stress and presence of fluids in the crust from earthquake data and strain from geodetic data Specific tasks include analysis and interpretation of existing deformation (GPS and InSAR), as well as fieldwork to collect new data. The applicant should have a PhD degree in Geophysics or related fields at the time of appointment (preferably no later than Sept. 1, 2009). Good computer a skills and experience in GPS data analysis are essential. Familiarity with InSAR data analysis, numerical modeling, seismic tomography and/or interest in joint interpretation of geodetic and seismic data are an added advantage. The application should include a CV, list of publications, summary of research interests, research plan and names of three referees, with contact information. The research will be conducted in collaboration with Dr. Thóra Árnadóttir (http://www.norvol.hi.is/~thora/) and Dr. Freysteinn Sigmundsson (http://www.raunvis.hi.is/~fs/) at the University of Iceland. Visits to collaborators outside Iceland, e.g. the University of Arizona (Dr. Sigrún Hreinsdóttir) and Uppsala University (Dr. Björn Lund and Dr. Ari Tryggvason) will be made possible. The application deadline is June 1, 2009.
