Volcano seismology postdoc at UAF/AVO
From: Michael West <mewest@xxxxxxxxxx>
********************************************************************************************
We are seeking an enthusiastic post doc to join the UAF Seismology
Lab. This researcher will lead an effort to investigate earthquake
swarms and their use in forecasting volcanic eruptions. This
NSF-supported project provides an opportunity to work across a wide
range of domestic and foreign volcanoes to develop characteristic
measures of earthquake activity. The post doc will also collaborate in
testing these techniques for use in the Alaska Volcano Observatory.
The position is expected to be funded for three years.
The successful candidate will join a broad seismology group studying
arc tectonics, earthquake source processes, volcano seismicity and
seismic imaging. The Seismology Lab hosts real time seismic analyses
for the Alaska Earthquake Information Center and the Alaska Volcano
Observatory. The post doc will contribute to rapid response and
monitoring efforts and will be encouraged to collaborate with USGS and
state Observatory partners. Field work opportunities exist for the
interested candidate. Experience in volcano seismology is not
required. We encourage applicants from a range of scientific
backgrounds.
