V. 2-year postdoctoral position in subduction zone related seismology

GNS Science, a crown research institute of New Zealand that provides Earth, geoscience and isotope research, invites applications for a two-year postdoctoral position to conduct research on recently acquired ocean bottom seismometer and absolute pressure gauge data from the Hikurangi Margin. The data capture one of the largest shallow Slow Slip Episodes to date and provide an enticing opportunity to search for temporal changes in physical properties associated with deformation on a megathrust fault. Potential avenues of research include ambient noise imaging, numerical wave propagation, and earthquake analysis. The postdoctoral project is part of a multinational collaboration with colleagues from the University of Tokyo and Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies and provides opportunities for close interaction with these institutes.
