From: "Luca D'Auria" <ldauria@xxxxxxx>
Subject: Postdoc position in Volcano Seismology (Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain)
*******************************************************************************************************


Instituto Volcanológico de Canarias (INVOLCAN) seeks a Post-Doctoral position in Volcano Seismology. The appointment will be for a 2 years period. The successful candidates will conduct research activities related to the characterization of seismicity and the development of three-dimensional tomographic models in active volcanoes and geothermal areas. The tasks of the successful candidate will include: determination of the structure of volcanic and geothermal areas through ambient noise tomography, local earthquake tomography and receiver function analysis; characterization of spatial and temporal features of the microseismicity in volcanic and geothermal areas. These tasks are intended to contribute to the INVOLCAN Volcano-Geothermal Research Program. Related investigations are designed to foster partnerships with international scientists, with sensitivity to the publication and policy needs of colleagues and co-authors in other countries. Qualifications include experience in volcano seismology, authorship of scientific publications, and contributions that have advanced this field. Completion of a Ph.D. and EU citizenship are requirements for these Post-Doc positions.


The candidate must have documented experience in: processing of seismic data in volcanic/geothermal areas, skills in geophysical inverse problems and expertize in Python programming language. Desirable skills are also: knowledge of ambient noise processing tools, knowledge of surface wave tomography, knowledge of seismic receiver functions processing, mastering of software for absolute and relative earthquake location (i.e. NLLoc and HypoDD), knowledge of a software for seismic wave modeling (e.g. Specfem3D, Salvus, etc.), mastering of ObsPy. Work experience in foreign countries, participation to international research projects and foreign language skills are also desirable. Documented experience of teamwork and/or participation into integrated multidisciplinary projects represents a plus in the selection process.


The position is based at Instituto Volcanológico de Canarias (INVOLCAN), Tenerife, Canary Islands, SPAIN; however, routine travel to deploy geophysical instrumentation, to conduct field surveys and to collaborate with colleagues is expected. Post-Doc annual salary is either 30.000 € or 35.310 € depending on qualifications. If you are interested and have additional questions about this Post-Doc position, please contact Luca D'Auria PhD (ldauria@xxxxxxx), Director of Volcanic Surveillance Area of INVOLCAN. Applicants should supply (a) a curriculum vitae, including a list of publications, (b) a motivation letter including a statement of past achievement and future research interests and goals (maximum 2 pages) and (c) e-mail address of three references to: nperez@xxxxxxx


To receive full consideration, all materials must be received by 20 May 2017.

Intended starting date is 1 July 2017.
