Postdoctoral research position in regional seismology

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research associate to work on project AQUAREL aimed at building new tools for joint earthquake and Earth structure imaging at regional scales, with an application to Western Iberia. The post is funded by FCT (Portuguese ministry of science) for 27 months, and involves collaboration between IST (Portugal) and other European universities, notably the University of East Anglia (UK), University of Bristol (UK) and the University of Hamburg (Germany).
