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 below. In the event of additional enquiries or problems, please contact Socheata Sean (Socheata.SEAN@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ).
o Physical development of magmatic inclusions in crystals. P. Schiano (LMV). PDocRes.
o Influence of mantle processes on volcanic behaviour O. Sigmarsson (LMV). PDocRes.
o Magnitude and style of explosive eruptions. J-L. Le Pennec (LMV). PDocRes.
o Physical vulnerability of urban buildings and infrastructures to lahar and pyroclastic flow impacts. J-C. Thouret (LMV) & A. Wagner (BRGM) PDocRes.
o Development of a volcano-dedicated InSAR data processing toolbox. J-L. Froger (LMV) PDocTech.
o Development of a portable instrument platform for volcano monitoring by muon tomography P. Labazuy (LMV-OPGC) and C. Carloganu (LPC) PDocTech.
o High pressure and high temperature experiments for the determination of thermochemical, physical, and kinetic constraints for the processes of magma genesis,
evolution, and eruption K. Koga (LMV) PDocTech.
o Developing a platform for numerical modelling of volcanic tsunamis. R. Paris and K. Kelfoun, LMV). PDocTech.
o Development of techniques of analysis and inversion of data from muon tomography – a new technique that uses cosmogenic muons to probe volcanic edifices C. Carloganu (LPC) & P. Labazuy (LMV) PhD.
o Modelling of dense, two-phase volcanic flows K. Kelfoun, O. Roche (LMV) & A. Chupin (LM). PhD. LMV: Laboratoire Magmas et Volcans; LPC: Laboratory of Particle Physics; LM: Laboratory of Mathematics; BRGM: French Geological Survey.
Definitions of jobs and salaries
PhD projects (PhD) will be for three years. The stipend (net, after payment of social charges but prior to income tax) will be about 1584 euros per month.
Postdoctoral research fellowships (PDocRes) will be awarded for one year, extendable to two years upon submission and favourable evaluation of a first-year report. The stipend will depend on the candidate’s experience in research, ranging from 1996 to 2485 euros per month (net, after payment of social charges but prior to income tax).
Postdoctoral technical engineer posts (PDocTech) will be awarded for one year, extendable to two years upon submission and favourable evaluation of a first-year report. These projects have a large technical component, and there will be less freedom for independent research than in a research fellowship. The stipend will depend on the nature of the work proposed and on the candidate’s prior experience, ranging from 1996 to 2306 euros per month (net, after payment of social charges but prior to income tax).
Application procedure
Descriptions of the projects are provided below, along with the addresses of people they may contact for more details. Enquiries of a general nature can also be made to the ClerVolc administrator, Socheata Sean (Socheata.SEAN@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ).
Applicants are requested to send a CV, a letter of motivation, the names of two referees, and the pdfs up to five publications to the ClerVolc administrator, Socheata Sean (Socheata.SEAN@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).
Applications will be accepted until the 1 July, but those received earlier will be given priority.
Applicants do not need necessarily to speak French.
