Proposed projects may involve a range of topics, including but not limited to: - Investigating eruption processes that produce electrical/acoustic signals in the atmosphere, in context with satellite observations (e.g., linking lightning and infrasound with multiple datastreams such as satellite, seismic data, and analysis of deposits) - Developing a next-generation monitoring strategy by leveraging existing lightning and infrasound networks, and embedding more sensitive instruments for targeted coverage - Examining the potential for small-scale electrical signals (e.g., continual radio frequency) to become a near-real time monitoring tool. This could involve, for example, deploying a lightning mapping array to an Alaskan volcano such as Cleveland or Pavlof Visit this link for more information and how to apply: https://geology.usgs.gov/postdoc/opps/basics.html The application closing date is *Friday January 18th 2019* and applicants are encouraged to contact research advisors early in the process to discuss ideas. Mendenhall Fellows are appointed to the USGS for two years and receive full salary and benefits at the GS-12 level. To be competitive for this position, candidates must have: (1) US citizenship, (2) completed their PhD within the past 5 years or less, and (3) a strong background in volcanology and/or geophysics, including publication in international journals.
