Thread: Application link UPDATE: Postdoctoral position at the University of Otago (Topics: earthquake detection/slow slip detection/statistical modelling of seismic swarms)

Dear Colleagues,

We seek a motivated researcher with a background in statistical or
computational modelling of earthquake or slow slip events and a strong
academic record to participate in a collaborative and international
research programme. Research projects will utilize computational or
statistical techniques to acquire a complete catalogue of slow slip
events (SSEs) and seismic swarms on and around New Zealand’s Hikurangi
subduction margin and investigate the occurrence patterns of these
events. Further details and information on how to apply can be found here:

https://otago.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobdetail.ftl?lang=en&job=2202157

The successful applicant will be working with Associate Professor Ting
Wang (University of Otago), Professor Mark Stirling (University of
Otago), Dr Laura Wallace (GNS Science), Dr Calum Chamberlain (Victoria
University of Wellington), Professor Mark Bebbington (Massey
University), and Dr Matt Gerstenberger (GNS Science).

Research topics will include:
-    Detection of slow slip events and their occurrence patterns
-    Earthquake detection and identification of seismic swarms
-    Stochastic modelling of seismic swarms

This position will be based at the University of Otago, with
collaborative visits to Victoria University of Wellington, University of
Tokyo and the Institute of Statistical Mathematics in Japan.

Informal enquiries should be directed to Associate Professor Ting Wang
(ting.wang<at>otago.ac.nz).

Formal applications must be made on-line, at
https://otago.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobdetail.ftl?lang=en&job=2202157.

The deadline for applications is Sunday 15 January 2023.
