Volcanic flow dynamics post-doc at the University of Bristol
From: Alison Rust <Alison.Rust@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
**********************************************************************************************************************************
The Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Bristol (UK) has an opening for a post-doctoral researcher in volcano fluid dynamics. The fixed-term contract is for a period of 3 years and is part of a multidisciplinary research project investigating gas-melt flow regimes in volcanic conduits and their characteristic acoustic signals, in conjunction with the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at the University of Nottingham.
We are looking for a motivated scientist with experience in fluid dynamics (preferably both experimental and theoretical research) and a PhD in physical volcanology, engineering, physics or applied mathematics. The postdoctoral researcher will carry out and interpret large-scale laboratory experiments to understand gas-liquid flow regimes in conduits and how these relate to eruption style, volcano degassing mechanisms, and acoustic signals measured at volcanoes. The researcher will collect and analyse laboratory data, develop physical models to interpret the data, and compare the results to infrasound recordings from volcanoes.
The preferred start date is October 1, 2009, but later start dates will be considered.
