The Department of Sustainable Earth Systems Sciences (
SESS)
at The University of Texas at Dallas invites application for a
Postdoctoral Scholar in the field of passive source seismology, which
will be funded and mentored by Prof. Joseph Byrnes. The primary project
will be an
NSF-funded collaboration with Ryan
Porter and Jim Gaherty at Northern Arizona University to investigate the
composition of the lower continental crust with the joint inversion of
surface wave and receiver function data, see

questions about the bulk composition of the lower crust, the sharpness
of the Moho, and the role of crustal density in supporting high
topography.
