Open Until: 2022-04-01
Postdoctoral Research Associate - Fault Slip
The Department of Geosciences at Princeton University is seeking a postdoctoral or more senior research associate interested in investigating faulting and frictional sliding via seismic observations, numerical simulations, and/or machine learning. Possible topics include the generation of tectonic tremor and slow slip, the transient frictional properties of granular gouge, or related topics of mutual interest. The initial appointment will be for one year, with the possibility for renewal for an additional year contingent upon satisfactory performance and available funding. The appointment can start on or after 1 May 2022. The successful applicant will join a diverse and intellectually broad department, with opportunities for collaboration with scientists working in other areas of seismology and geophysics. Opportunities for mentoring graduate and undergraduate student researchers are also available.
Applicants must have a PhD in geophysics or a related field, peer-reviewed publications, and enthusiasm and drive for independent and collaborative research. Strong candidates will also be creative and independent thinkers, and have effective oral and written communication skills.
