----------------------------------------------------

(1)*Postdoctoral Researcher, Permeability Changes & Tidal Responses, UC
Santa Cruz*

An opening exists for a postdoctoral researcher interested in measuring
permeability changes over time in groundwater systems using tidal
responses. The emphasis of the project is on unravelling the
interactions between the reservoirs and regional earthquakes. The ideal
candidate has a good working knowledge of hydrogeology, MatLab
programming skills and experience analyzing natural systems. Experience
with seismology is definitely a plus. Modelling skills are also helpful.

Interested applicants should please send their current CVs, 2
publications and the names of 3 references to Emily Brodsky
<brodsky<at>es.ucsc.edu>. Funding is available for at least 1 year and
extensions are possible.

Applications received before May 15, 2013 will get preference.

of Earth and Planetary Science*
The experimental rock deformation and experimental petrology labs at
Washington University in Saint Louis, Department of Earth and Planetary
Science, invite applications for a full time Research Engineer to
oversee the operation of high pressure/temperature apparatuses and
associated equipment. Current and anticipated equipment within these
labs includes a Griggs rig, a high PT torsion apparatus, piston
cylinder, Mo-Hf-Carbide externally heated pressure vessels, and
1-atmosphere gas-mixing furnaces. A graduate degree in rock mechanics or
experimental petrology is preferred. Strong technical capabilities and
familiarity with solid medium apparatuses are required. Knowledge of
high temperature controllers, electrical engineering, data acquisition,
hydraulic equipment, and computer programming, including LabView, are
pluses. The candidate will be responsible for the overall operation of
these labs, including but not limited to (1) maintaining and improving
equipment (2) training students and postdocs and (3) general lab
