*******************************************************************************************
Volcanic flow dynamics post-doc at the University of Bristol (UK)
From: Jeremy Phillips <J.C.Phillips@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 2.75 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 August 1, 2010, but later start dates will be
considered.
For further information, please contact Alison Rust or Jeremy Phillips by 10th May:
