Two year Postdoctoral Position at the LMU Munich

The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (Geophysics Section) at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) in Munich, Germany, is seeking applications from enthusiastic young researchers for a 2-year postdoctoral position with possible extension of additional 2 years funded by the state of Bavaria. The project entitled “Reservoir Model Molasse Basin: Induced/Triggered Seismicity” joins research groups from LMU and the Technical University Munich and aims at developing concepts for establishing a larger scale geothermal reservoir model for the Bavarian Molasse basin. The advertised postdoctoral position concerns the seismological part of the project. The aim is to couple quasi static T(hermal)H(ydrological)M(echanical) modeling with high-end seismic wavefield simulation strategies (dynamic rupture) to develop a digital twin of the geothermal reservoir seismicity. Beside these direct simulations the “adaptive traffic light system” to be developed needs to be coupled with physics based catalogue models (e.g., rate-state or time-dependent Coulomb failure) and real time monitoring systems probably through a Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) or other machine learning methods. An additional task within the reservoir model consists in the computation of realistic PGV scenarios using surrogate models and/or other AI methods (e.g., GANs) for evaluating the risk of damage caused by induced/triggered earthquakes.

The successful candidate is expected to hold a Ph.D. in Earth or related sciences. Ideally the candidate has experience with one of the current wavefield simulation and multi-physics modeling codes (e.g., specfem, seissol, salvus, moose, or else) and preferably some experience with ML/AI methods.

The Department has a powerful Linux-cluster (partly equipped with gpus) and access to local supercomputer facilities (lrz.dehttp://lrz.de/). More information can be found at www.geophysik.uni-muenchen.dehttp://www.geophysik.uni-muenchen.de/ Complete applications must include a statement of research interests (one page), CV, publication list, and names and addresses of at least two referees.

The position is open until filled.

Applications should be sent to:

Two-year geodynamics postdoc position at Durham University, UK

We are looking for an enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher to join the department of Earth Sciences at Durham University (UK) on a fully-funded 2-year PDRA projecthttps://durham.taleo.net/careersection/du_ext/jobdetail.ftl?job=24000514&lang=en at Durham University on “Geodynamic modelling of the Virgin Islands as a proxy for early Earth geodynamics”. The project is part of the VIPERhttps://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=NE%2FX001334%2F1#/tabOverview project.

The successful candidate will use geodynamic modelling to assess the tectonic feasibility of a range of proposed geodynamic scenarios to explain the tectonic and petrological observations (e.g., P-T ranges) of the Virgin Islands as a proxy for early Earth dynamics. This will involve both subduction zone and intraplate settings. Potential implications for the Earth’s earliest crust formation will be explored in a set of numerical models with thermal and compositional settings that are appropriate for the early Earth. Calculations will be carried out with the flexible, and highly versatile geodynamical software tool ASPECThttps://aspect.geodynamics.org/. The role will require extended research visits to collaborators at the Universities of Oxford and Edinburgh.

Please forward this message to any potential candidates. I am more than happy to answer any questions, so candidates can contact me at jeroen.van-hunen@durham.ac.ukmailto:jeroen.van-hunen@durham.ac.uk.

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Engineering Seismology/Seismic Hazard, Liverpool, UK

The University of Liverpool invites applications for the position of Postdoctoral Research Associate (fixed term - 3 years) in Engineering Seismology to work on the multi-institution inter-disciplinary project SeisGreen. This project, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), aims to understand, and mitigate the “induced seismicity” that might be caused by injecting fluids into rocks. Subsurface fluid injection will be a necessary component of many green energy technologies, such as geothermal energy, carbon sequestration, and subsurface hydrogen storage.

Your role will be to work on the seismic hazard component of this project. You will use data and models, both developed within the SeisGreen project by others, and from the wider scientific community, to develop ground motion models (GMMs) and time-dependent hazard models for induced seismicity. The deadline for applications is 13th May 2024.

PhD position in alpine hydrogeophysics, Switzerland

A PhD position is available to work with the Applied and Environmental Geophysics Group within the Institute of Earth Sciences (ISTE) at UNIL, in close collaboration with the Centre for Hydrogeology and Geothermics (CHYN) at the University of Neuchâtel (UNINE). The PhD project will address process- and methodology-oriented questions in alpine hydrogeology and geophysics. The research will be developed in the Val d'Ursé catchment, located in the Bernina mountain range in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland. This catchment is underlain by crystalline bedrock, where groundwater storage and flow are controlled by a dense network of fractures and faults. It has a large rock glacier on its north-east facing slope, which contributes to water and solute fluxes through freeze-thaw cycles.

Process-based questions to be addressed within this PhD include: How do permafrost dynamics and freeze-thaw cycles impact groundwater recharge and flow patterns? What is the contribution of freeze/thaw cycles in the rock glacier on groundwater recharge and mixing at the hillslope scale? How can one detect enhanced flow channelling within the fracture network at the catchment scale? Methodology-related questions include: How can geophysical data be used to inform or test distributed groundwater models of alpine catchments? What geophysical methods and measurement configurations are best suited for this purpose? Geophysical techniques to be considered include (i) drone-based ground-penetrating radar to study the rock glacier and fracture patterns in the near subsurface; (ii) electrical resistivity surveying to study water-content dynamics and fracture-induced anisotropy; and (iii) self-potential measurements to learn about groundwater flow patterns and diurnal variations in flow dynamics below the rock glacier. The chosen PhD student will have the possibility to adapt the specific research direction based on her/his interests.

Postdoc in Global Seismology, University of Cambridge, UK

Are you passionate about unravelling the mysteries of the deep Earth?

We invite applications for a Post-Doctoral Research Assistant/Associate (PDRA) to join our team in Global Seismology at the University of Cambridge. Collaborating (amongst others) with Prof. John Wheeler from the University of Liverpool and Dr Simon Hunt from the University of Manchester, the post-holder will delve into imaging the dynamics of the mantle with multi-disciplinary input.

Research Project: Our collaboration aims to integrate our disciplines to look at the role of pressure and stress variations on the behaviour of phase transitions in the mantle transition zone. Understanding the behaviour and being able to seismically map it could lead to new direct constraints on flow in the deep mantle.

The post-holder will be looking at the seismological aspect of the project while incorporating results from mineral physics and geodynamical models provided by collaboration within the Mantle Feedbacks team. This will involve making models for predicted topography on the mantle transition zone in a convecting mantle model, and testing with synthetic data to what degree we can observe the topography seismically. In conjunction, the researcher will look at actual data on the mantle transition zones (receiver functions and precursors) in regions where interactions with slabs and plumes are anticipated, especially where anomalous topography is observed.

The successful candidate must have (or be about to obtain), a Ph.D. in geophysics, seismology, or a closely related field. Applicants will have experience with seismological analyses and data interpretation, alongside experience with numerical modelling and programming. Excellent communication and collaboration skills are essential, alongside a strong publication record (commensurate with their career stage) and an ability to work effectively as part of a dedicated team.

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available until 28 February 2027 in the first instance.

Earliest start date: The position offers a flexible starting date in 2024.

Salary ranges: Research Associate: £36,024 - £44,263 (Grade 7). Appointment at Research Associate level is dependent on having a PhD. Those who have submitted but not yet received their PhD, will initially be under-appointed as a Research Assistant (Grade 5, Point 38 - £32,982), moving to Research Associate (Grade 7) upon confirmation of their PhD award.

Click the 'Apply' button below to register an account with our recruitment system (if you have not already) and apply online.

For enquiries and further details on the project, please contact PI Sanne Cottaar at sc845@cam.ac.uk.

Please ensure that you upload your Curriculum Vitae (CV), a covering letter and publications list in the upload section. If you upload any additional documents that have not been requested they will not be considered as part of your application.

Please quote reference LB40880 on your application and in any correspondence about this vacancy.
