Postdoctoral Position in Seismology at Harvard University.

Applications and inquiries are invited from highly-qualified and motivated recent Ph.D. graduates wishing to pursue research in Solid Earth Geophysics (Seismology with collaboration with Geodesy). The project involves using normal mode information in a theoretical and computational approach to model the Earth's tidal response due to three-dimensional mantle structure. The applicants should have strong analytical and/or computational skills with prior experience in global theoretical seismology and/or computational seismic tomographic modelling preferred.

The initial appointment will be for one year, with the possibility of renewal for a second year. The position is available immediately, but the start date is flexible. Applications will be reviewed as they are received and until the position is filled, but we hope to make an appointment by September 1, 2010.

Applicants should submit a CV, list of publications, and a statement of research interests by email (">) or by post to Miaki Ishii, Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences, Harvard University, 20 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA 02138. The applicants should also arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent directly to the above address.

Harvard University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
Applications from women and minorities are encouraged.
