Thread: PhD position in glacier seismology

The Institute of Hydraulics, Hydrology and Glaciology (VAW) at ETH Zurich
(Switzerland) seeks a PhD student in the field of subglacial processes.
This project combines borehole experiments with seismic monitoring on
Alpine glaciers.

The ideal candidate is highly motivated, should hold a Master's degree in
geophysics, physics, applied mathematics, earth sciences, or engineering,
and is familiar with time series analysis on high-level programming
languages such as Matlab and Python. She/he will collaborate with
seismologists at the Swiss Seismological Service and ETH's Geophysical
Institute to implement existing and develop new techniques for automatic
processing of glacier microseismicity. The planned glacier experiments
require good physical shape and willingness to spend up to several weeks in
the field; mountaineering skills would be a plus. The working language is
preferably German, but English is also possible; knowledge of German would
be an asset in any case. Evaluation of applications will start on 31
January 2017 and continue until the position is filled. Project start is
spring 2017.

For additional information please refer to www.glaciology.ethz.ch or
contact Fabian Walter, walter<at>vaw.baug.ethz.ch (no applications).

We look forward to receiving your application including a detailed C.V., a
letter of motivation, diplomas, and work certificates (if any) online at
www.jobs.ethz.ch ("apply now" below) addressed to ETH Zurich, Ms. Corina
Niescher, Human Resources, 8093 Zurich, Switzerland.
