SUBJECT: RV FISHER POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS IN MULTIDISCIPLINARY VOLCANO HAZARDS RESEARCH
Two postdoctoral fellowships are available for a new project, funded by the US National Science Foundation, titled: Hazards SEES: Persistent volcanic crises – resilience in the face of prolonged and uncertain risk. The project integrates geology & geophysics, psychology & planning, mathematics & statistics, computational modeling, and cyberinfrastructure to address sustainability and resilience of the face of long-lived volcanic crises. Research will focus on two case studies, Kīlauea (Hawaiʿi) and Long Valley caldera/Mono-Inyo chain (California), and involves collaboration between University at Buffalo, University of Hawaiʿi, Univ. California Berkeley, Marquette University, Duke University, and the USGS’ Hawaiʿi Volcano Observatory and California Volcano Observatory. One of the postdoctoral fellows will be based at University at Buffalo, and the other at Berkeley, but each will spend time at the appropriate USGS observatory, other collaborating universities, and will be an active participants in the collaboration. The fellowships are named for RV Fisher, one of the founders of modern volcanology in the United States.
One postdoctoral fellow will be expected to focus on geophysics of volcano plumbing, and the other will focus on statistical/probabilistic modeling of hazards, at the two study locations. Candidates should have completed their Ph.D. (geology, geophysics, statistics, computational modeling, or related fields) within the past four years, and have a demonstrated track record of research carried from initiation to completion and publication. Location of the successful candidates’ home university will be determined based upon the fit with work at each of the two hosting universities. Start dates are somewhat flexible within the next six months.
Applicants should send the following materials to Barbara Catalano (bac6@xxxxxxxxxxx): Cover letter, contact information for three referees, research statement, and CV.
Questions about the overall project can be directed to Greg Valentine (gav4@xxxxxxxxxxx).
Volcano Listserv is a collaborative venture among Arizona State University (ASU), Portland State University (PSU), the Global Volcanism Program (GVP) of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, and the International Association for Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI).
