Postdoctoral position in volcano geodesy/model-data assimilation
The Division of Marine
Geology and Geophysics (MGG) at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and
Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) at the University of Miami, Florida, invites
applications for a postdoctoral position
using near-real time and/or low-latency geodetic data of volcanoes. The
objective of the project is to link geodynamical magma chamber
evolution models with geodetic observations from GPS and InSAR into a
model-data assimilation framework to assess the eruption
potential of volcanoes exhibiting unrest. Objectives also include the
assimilation of seismic data and of gas measurements, and the
implementation of the finite element modeling approaches on scalable,
high-performance computing platforms. This project is part of a
broader effort to develop an operational methodology for eruption
prediction using current and future SAR missions with short revisiting
times.
This is a 2-year joint project with the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, supported by NASA. For an overview about our research activities please visit
http://www.geodesy.miami.edu.
Review of applications begins Oct 5 2014 and will continue until the
position is filled. Anticipated appointment date is in the first half of
2015. For more information on the position
please contact and/or send your application, to Dr. Falk Amelung (famelung@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). Complete applications will consist of a cover letter,
a detailed curriculum vitae and complete contact information for at least three references.
