2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 From: "Társilo Girona" <tarsilo.girona@xxxxxxxxxx> *RECRUITING TWO POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS!* Two fully-funded 2-year postdoctoral positions in the field of volcano modeling and eruption forecasting are available at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) - Geophysical Institute (GI). The Postdoctoral Researchers will work on developing innovative physics-based models and statistics-based eruption forecasting models for Alaska volcanoes, within the framework of the NSF-PREEVENTS Eruption Forecasting Project. This project capitalizes on the wealth of data from the Alaska Volcano Observatory; the multidisciplinary expertise of volcano observatory scientists; and the analytical power provided by a team of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, UAF faculty, and other national and international collaborators. Research and data analysis are currently being conducted on four interrelated disciplines: (1) geodesy, (2) seismology & infrasound, (3) volcanic gas geochemistry & remote sensing, and (4) petrology, geochemistry & physical volcanology, and focuses on eight recently active Alaska volcanoes: Cleveland, Okmok, Bogoslof, Shishaldin, Pavlof, Veniaminof, Augustine, and Redoubt. The successful candidates will develop state of the art methods, tools, and techniques while working with a diverse group of collaborators. One of the postdoctoral research positions is offered for a physics-based modeler, who is expected to develop a new physics-based model to understand pre-eruptive and syn-eruptive processes at one of the target volcanoes. Time-permitting, the researcher will also utilize the physics-based model in a Bayesian inverse scheme to derive probability density functions for model parameters which are consistent with prior constraints and observed data. This Researcher will be mentored jointly by Társilo Girona (UAF-GI) and Kyle Anderson (USGS). This position will be based at UAF and the researcher will have the opportunity to travel annually to work in-person with Dr. Anderson at the California Volcano Observatory. The second postdoctoral research position is offered for a statistics-based modeler, who is expected to develop new statistics-based models to investigate the emergence of pre-eruptive and syn-eruptive patterns, with the final goal of generating probabilistic eruption forecasts for the eight target volcanoes through traditional and novel probabilistic techniques (e.g., event trees, artificial intelligence). This Researcher will be mentored jointly by Taryn Lopez (UAF-GI) and Warner Marzocchi (University of Naples, Federico II, Italy). This position will be based primarily at UAF and the researcher will have the opportunity to travel annually to work in-person with Dr. Marzocchi at the University of Naples, Federico II. *The review of the applications will begin on April 4, 2022.* The expected start date for both Postdoctoral Researchers is Fall 2022.
