Applicants must have a PhD in Earth Sciences or a related field at the time of appointment. The candidate should possess strong experience in geodesy. Evidence of strong mathematical/numerical skills is also essential. Experience in the use of volcano monitoring techniques and residential experience at a volcano observatory is highly desirable. In addition, experience in the use of InSAR would be an advantage.
The successful candidate will be an essential member of the team monitoring the ongoing eruption of the Soufrière Hills Volcano in Montserrat, with specific responsibility for undertaking monitoring and research in ground deformation at the MVO.
