Doctoral and postdoctoral posts in Clermont-Ferrand
From: Tim Druitt <T.Druitt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
*****************************************************************************************
Seeking world-class PhD students, post-doctoral research fellows and technical engineers in the field of volcanic and magmatic systems
The ClerVolc (Clermont-Ferrand Centre for Volcano Research) consortium involves six laboratories of Blaise Pascal University in Clermont-Ferrand, France (Laboratories of Volcanology (‘Magmas et Volcans’), Particle Physics, Physical Meteorology, Social and Cognitive Psychology, Mathematics, Computer Science, the Observatoire de Physique du Globe at Clermont-Ferrand, and the French Geological Survey (BRGM). The consortium, which is led by the Laboratoire Magmas et Volcans (director P. Schiano; scientific coordinator T. Druitt), has received funding for a ten-year collaborative research programme from the French government ‘Laboratories of Excellence’ initiative. The programme will address fundamental questions in the field of magma generation, volcano dynamics, volcanic hazards and volcanic risk.
We are seeking candidates for ten projects, to start in October of 2012. The projects are at post-doctoral (PDoc) and doctoral (PhD) levels. Postdoctoral projects are divided into those with that are strongly research-oriented (PDocRes), and those with important components of technical development (PDocTech).
Details of the projects, post profiles, salaries, contact addresses, application procedures and deadlines may be found at the following link:
