UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH
The Department of Geology and Environmental Science (http://www.geology.pitt.edu) at
the University of Pittsburgh invites applications for a full-time one-year visiting assistant

glacier dynamics through quantifying and interpreting ground displacement using
satellite remote sensing via Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) or Global
Positioning Systems (GPS), passive source seismology to understand Earthquake
sources and structure, seismic anisotropy and lithospheric structure and composition as
modulated by tectonic processes, and acquiring, processing, and interpretation of active
or passive waveform data.
