*Mendenhall Postdoctoral Opportunity: The relation of earthquake stress
drop to source physics and ground motion*
We seek a postdoctoral fellow to focus on earthquake stress drops in order
to reduce uncertainty in measurements and more fully understand the
energetics of earthquake rupture. Stress drop is one of the largest sources
of uncertainty in ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs), and by
improving the resolution of stress drops we can reduce the uncertainty in
key USGS products su…

The Seismology team at University of Strasbourg (France) is seeking a
postdoctoral researcher to investigate the initiation of large
earthquakes using near-fault observations. This project aims to
extract the physics of earthquake nucleation using a new approach to
the modeling of fault slip evolution over time.
Although it is well established that some events are preceded by
foreshocks, it is still unclear whether these foreshocks …
