The Section of Geophysics is looking to fill a position of university assistant/postdoc in the field of seismology, a highly motivated and
creative person. Our main research contexts are regional geodynamics, seismic hazard, seismoacoustic waves, and nuclear verification. Data are available from AlpArray and related European projects, as is our shortperiod instrument pool (Fairfields). Some specific topics of interest are subsurface structure and dynamics, modeling of elastoacoustic wave propagation through complex media, geodynamic modelling
of geophysical constraints, but this is not exclusive. Teaching will be exclusively in English.

New technical developments are highly welcome, for addressing questions of fundamental research and/or industrial application. Furthermore
the candidate is expected to teach courses independently as defined by the collective agreement, and to supervise students at the various
levels.
Profile:
- Doctoral degree in Geophysics, or - if in a neighbouring field - experience in seismology.
- We assume an interest in seismological field experiments and the related data analysis and interpretation.
- Excellent command of written and spoken English.
