A postdoctoral researcher is sought to collaborate on this Leverhulme Trust-funded project. The post should start around October 2016 and will be for a fixed term of 3 years. The researcher will be based at the Department of Geography at the University of Cambridge.
Applicants should have a PhD in volcanology, Quaternary science or closely-related research domain.
The project aims to bridge volcanological and archaeological studies in East Africa through studies of selected large calderas in the Ethiopian Rift Valley and their associated pyroclastic deposits. It will involve a combination of reconnaissance-scale fieldwork to characterise and sample key tephra layers, followed up by laboratory petrological, geochemical and geochronological analysis. Key objectives include the development of a regional tephra database and quantification of the timing, nature of key eruptions. Field observations will underpin much of the research to be undertaken, so candidates should have plenty of fieldwork experience, ideally with silicic pyroclastic rocks.
Applications and further details can be submitted online here:
