The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of the Climate School of Columbia University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist position in marine geodesy and seismology, and associated instrumentation.
The successful candidate will work primarily with new seafloor seismic, oceanographic and geodetic data to study slow slip events offshore of New Zealand to better understand tsunami and seismic hazard of subduction zones. There is also an opportunity to work on several existing data sets including previous data from New Zealand, compliance data from Axial Volcano focused on its magma chamber and a project investigating seafloor pressure instrumentation.
Qualifications
Candidates should have completed the requirements for a Ph.D. in Geophysics (Seismology, Marine Geodesy) or related discipline. Excellent programming and mathematical skills are highly desired. Prior experience in seismology and/or marine engineering and geodesy, and evidence of the ability to conduct and publish high quality research, are required. Appointment will be for 1-year with continuation pending progress.
The search will remain open for at least 30 days after the ad appears and will continue until the position is filled. The proposed start date is January 1, 2023, with much flexibility.
