Postdoctoral position on Volcanology at Pusan National University, Republic of Korea
Dear Colleagues,
The Research Institute of Environment Sciences & the Department of Earth Sciences at the Pusan National University invite two postdoctoral fellow for ten-months Postdoctoral Position in volcanology with special emphasis on 1) the relationship between precursor phenomena and eruption prediction of major volcanoes and 2) virtual simulation of volcanic ash dispersion, effect areas and levels of hypothetical eruption from the Mt. Baegdusan volcano, which located the border between North Korea and China(42Â00â24âN 128Â03â18âE~ï42.00667ÂN 128.055ÂE).
Applicants must have a Ph.D in Volcanology and suitable research backgrounds.
She/he will be carried out 1) understand the monitoring systems of some volcanoes(case study) in Japanese volcanoes(the Usu, Mt. Fuji), American volcanoes(especially Alaskan volcanic observatory(AVO) and Hawaiian volcani observatory(HVO), and Italian volcanic observatory(Etan and Stromboli volcano). And she/he should suggest the optimal monitoring system and long-distance tele-monitoring system for the Mt. Baegdusan. And the relationship between precursor phenomena and eruption prediction of major volcanoes in the world, 2) Virtual simulation of volcanic ash dispersion, effect areas and levels of hypothetical eruption from the Mt. Baegdusan volcano according various condition (volcanic explosive index, seasonal variation of weather, height of eruption column, etc.) and suggestion of application and construction of Data Base for the products of simulation. Applicants should have experience in volcanic ash-dispersion modeling.
We will support the money US$25,000/10 months (US$2,500/month) including accommodation and life in Busan and some additional supports during 10 months from April 2011 to Jan 2012.
The hard deadline for applications is 20 April 2011, with a desired start date of 1 May 2011. Interested scientists should first contact the project PI(Prof. Sung-Hyo Yun: Âyunsh@xxxxxxxxxxx) well in advance of the dead line, and should submit a statement of curriculum vitae.
