Postdoctoral position with the ERC/GLOBALSEIS project at Geoazur

We are looking for a postdoc to join the ERC-funded Globalseis project. In this project we develop a new generation of global tomographic models that take finite-frequency effects into account, are regularized with unconventional image processing techniques (e.g. compressed sensing), and use data from global as well as dense networks, including fleets of floating submarine hydrophones ('Mermaids') of which we have just tested and finalized the prototype.

We are especially interested in recent PhD's who wish to be engaged in one or more of the following aspects of the project: massive data processing, combining surface wave constraints with body-wave tomography, developing crustal corrections for body-wave dispersion, further develop finite-frequency software and make it sufficiently user-friendly for distribution as open source code. Good knowledge of Fortran and Unix scripting required, and, depending on research interest, experience with massive seismic data processing and/or programming in MPI/Fortran.

The position is for two years. Globalseis is hosted by Geoazur, a CNRS laboratory in the French 'technopole' Sophia Antipolis, within a stone's throw of the enchanting coastal town of Antibes at the Côte d'Azur. For more information see https://www.geoazur.net/GLOBALSEIS/index.html and contact Guust Nolet ( - but absent 14-30 July) or Bernhard Schuberth ().

To apply, send an e-mail with recent CV, list of publications, and names and contact information of two references to Guust Nolet. The position will remain open until a suitable candidate is found.
