The fellow will work on two funded research projects: the UK NERC-funded PI-LAB project and ERC-funded EURO-LAB project.
You will do one or more of the following projects: global imaging of the tectonic plate, in situ imaging of the 0 – 80 my old Atlantic plate using data collected from a large ocean bottom seismic experiment, joint seismic tomographic inversions, joint seismic-MT inversions, full-waveform modelling, earthquake source characterisations, and/or geodynamic modelling of mid-ocean ridge/transform systems.
In addition to supporting these projects you will be encouraged to develop your own research interests in seismology and/or geophysics. Interaction and collaboration with our collaborators in the US and France is key.
