Postdoctoral Fellowship in Physical Volcanology
The Department of Geology at the University of South Florida seeks
applicants for a postdoctoral fellowship position in Physical Volcanology.
This is a two year position starting in August, 2010. The successful
candidate will participate in the VHub project to develop a virtual
organization and cyberinfrastructure for volcanology research and risk
mitigation (see http://geohazards.buffalo.edu/VHub/). Emphasis will be on
development of statistical methods for quantification of hazards related to
eruptive phenomena, such as tephra fallout, pyroclastic flows and debris
flows. The successful candidate will work with the investigator team from
USF, U Buffalo, and Michigan Tech, international collaborators, and volcano
observatories to develop and refine hazard assessment tools for such
eruptive phenomena and implement these tools as Vhub content.
The position is funded for 24 months at a salary of $45,000 per year.
Applicants must be able to start the position in August 2010. A completed
PhD in Geology, Geophysics or related field is required by this time.
Candidates must demonstrate strong skills in computer programming and
modeling of natural processes. Candidates should have an established record of publishing research results.
