Multiple Post-Doctoral Research Scientists in Seismology and Geodesy:

The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University invites applications for up to six full-time post-doctoral research scientist positions in Seismology and Geodesy. The successful applicants will work with investigators of the seismology and geodesy groups (www.ldeo.columbia.edu/research/seismology-geology-tectonophysics/postdoc-opportunities) on one or more of the projects listed below.

The successful candidates will join a dynamic group of geophysicists working on a wide range of interrelated problems in Earth structure and dynamics, earthquake-source studies, and the interactions of the solid Earth, hydrosphere, and cryosphere. The positions are full-time 1-year appointments, with the opportunity for continuation and growth depending on progress and availability of funding.

We seek qualified, highly motivated candidates for the following research activities:

-       Analysis and interpretation of diverse onshore and offshore active- source seismic data to investigate deformation and magmatism at active and ancient plate boundaries, including  a targeted study of the Alaska/Aleutian subduction zone;

-       Development and implementation of methods for imaging crust and upper-mantle structure from broadband arrays and modeling of results in terms of physical properties. Focus on the dynamics driving
subduction in Alaska, uplift and rifting in Papua New Guinea, the deep structure and evolution of volcanic arcs, and the evolution of the Pacific plate;

-       Exploitation of data from the Global Seismographic Network and the USArray component of EarthScope for the purpose of improved characterization of earthquake sources and the development of next-generation tomographic images of the Earth's interior;

-       Interdisciplinary geodetic studies, including: an analysis of tidal resonance using a global set of GPS data; a multidisciplinary study of the impact of climate change on the solid Earth and oceans; innovative geodetic methods applied to glaciology and other branches of the geosciences; improvements in geodetic accuracy and analysis techniques.

Requirements:
- A recent Ph.D. in Geophysics or a related discipline is required.
- Experience in computer programming is highly preferred, as well as research experience directly relevant to the research activities described above.

To apply:
Applicants should submit a personal statement describing research experience and interests, including specific reference to the projects listed here, a curriculum vitae, and the names and addresses
of three references,to:
