Postdoctoral Scholar position in geophysics, Northern Arizona University
We are seeking a postdoctoral scholar to join the geophysics group in the School of Earth and Sustainability at Northern Arizona University. Geophysics faculty, staff, and graduate students collect, analyze and interpret novel geophysical datasets on land and at sea around the world to address fundamental problems in Earth Science. The School of Earth and Sustainability includes a dynamic and diverse faculty that work across a spectrum of earth and environmental sciences. The successful candidate will take a leading role in development and application of innovative seismic imaging techniques that combine unique active- and passive-source seismic datasets to probe crust and mantle dynamics. The primary project focuses on the possible past and present role of partial melt and lithospheric heterogeneity in controlling continental rifting in East Africa. The ideal candidate will have a PhD in geophysics or a related field and experience in seismic data analysis, including inverse modeling, and a strong record of peer-reviewed publication. The postdoc will be a part of an active group of faculty and students in geophysics and will have the opportunity to mentor undergraduate and graduate students. Please contact James Gaherty (James....@nau.edu) and/or Donna Shillington (Donna.Sh...@nau.edu) or for more information.
Applicant evaluation will commence March 16, 2025; applications close March 30, 2025.
