Thread: Postdoc in InSAR and ground deformation modeling

Institution: University of Rhode Island
Open Until: 2018-09-01

A postdoc position in the area of InSAR and ground deformation modeling is available at the University of Rhode Island. The focus of the position will be using InSAR and numerical models to characterize underground nuclear explosions.

Research experience in InSAR and ground deformation modeling (earthquake, volcano, hydrology, or underground explosion, etc) is required. Experience with finite element modeling (Abaqus, Pylith, etc) and computer programming is preferred.

The initial appointment is for one year with an option to extend based up performance and availability of funding. The position will be available starting March 1, 2018, but a later starting date is possible.

Applicants should submit a CV and cover letter to Matt Wei (matt-wei<at>uri.edu). An interview at AGU in New Orleans can be arranged.
