[OBSIPtec] Graduate and Postdoctoral Opportunities in OBS and Related Research

[Kasey Aderhold]

Graduate Student and Post-doc Opportunities at the University of Hawaii

    Volcano construction and lithospheric flexure along the
    Hawaiian-Emperor hotspot track

        A post-doctoral researcher in seismology is sought for projects
        involving wide-angle, active-source data collected on ocean
        bottom seismographs, and tomographic imaging of the crust and
        upper mantle.  The successful applicant will integrate results
        and interpretations with those of a companion multi-channel
        seismic reflection study led by collaborators at Lamont-Doherty
        Earth Observatory.  Skills and experience in active-source
        seismology are desired.  Contact Robert Dunn: dunnr at hawaii.edu.

        A graduate student interested in geodynamic modeling is sought
        to study the time-dependent growth of volcanic loads and
        resulting mechanical response of the oceanic lithosphere.  This
        student will incorporate seismic results with computer
        simulations of lithospheric loading and flexure to address
        issues related to geomagnetic observations as well as
        lithosphere rheology.  Applicants should have a strong
        background in math and physics; experience in computer modeling
        and programming is desirable. Contact Garrett Ito
        gito at hawaii.edu & Paul Wessel pwessel at hawaii.edu.


    Absolute plate motion over moving hotspots

        A graduate student is sought to work on new methodologies to
        constrain absolute plate motion (APM) models, using a variety of
        geophysical data, and investigate the range of plume motion and
        true polar wander allowed by current data. Applicants should
        have good preparation in math and physics; experience in
        computer programming and data analysis is desirable. Contact
        Paul Wessel pwessel at hawaii.edu.


    Tectonic reorganizations of the North Atlantic south of Iceland

        A graduate student is sought to participate in a marine
        geophysical research cruise, Summer 2019, and work on magnetic
        anomaly, gravity and multi-beam bathymetry data to understand
        the tectonic evolution of the seafloor spreading system south of
        Iceland (the Reykjanes Ridge). A focus will be on how transform
        faults and other ridge axis discontinuities form, evolve, and
        are eliminated. Applicants should have a good understanding of
        plate tectonic theory and background in math and physics;
        experience in computer programming is desirable. Contact
        Fernando Martinez: fernando at hawaii.edu.

Postdoctoral Researcher for Structural Seismology Group, JAMSTEC

    Institution: Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology
    Open Until: 2018-10-02

    The Structural Seismology Group at the Research and Development
    (R&D) Center for Earthquake and Tsunami (CEAT), Japan Agency for
    Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), is soliciting
    applications for two Postdoctoral Researcher positions in a research
    project entitled “Subduction Zone Observation and Monitoring for
    Hazard Mitigation”, which is an integrated seismogenic zone research
    project through seismic surveys, seafloor observations, and
    monitoring earthquakes and tsunamis.

    Please refer to our website for details about the Research and
    Development Center for Earthquake and Tsunami and our research plan.
    http://www.jamstec.go.jp/ceat/e/

    [Research Description]
    Project tasks will include the following:
    Research to reveal the seismogenic process in the seismogenic zones
    around Japan, such as the Nankai Trough and Japan Trench, using data
    processing and interpreting seismic data from active source seismic
    surveys using a multichannel seismic reflection system and/or ocean
    bottom seismometers.

    [Relevant Research Fields]
    Marine Seismology, Marine Geology, Geophysics, etc.

    [Requirements]
    Applicants are required to have been awarded or expect to have
    obtained a Ph.D. in a related field by the date of employment. In
    addition, no more than 5 years can have passed between the last day
    of the fiscal year in which the applicants obtained a Ph.D. and the
    date of employment.

    [Work Place]
    Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC)
    Yokohama Institute for Earth Sciences (YES),
    3173-25 Showa-machi, Kanazawa-ku, Yokohama city, Kanagawa,
    236-0001, JAPAN
