Post Doc Position at Oslo University

Postdoctoral position in Seismology, University of Oslo (Norway)

The Department of Geosciences of the Univ. of Oslo (http://www.geo.uio.no/english/) invites applications for a 2-years postdoctoral position in analysis of broadband seismological data. The position is one of several temporary positions that are or will be available in Norway, Denmark and The Netherlands in the framework of the EUROCORES project TopoScandiaDeep. Follow on  http://www.geo.uio.no/TopoScandiaDeep where positions will be posted.

In the present position, you will analyse broadband seismological data newly acquired in Southern Norway in order to establish a seismic model of the Scandinavian lithosphere. The emphasis will be on the analysis of the capabilities of the seismological data in the noise frequency range to constrain the crustal and sub-Moho seismic model.

Required qualifications: 
A PhD in seismology at the time of appointment. Experience with surface wave tomography and/or analysis of noise is an advantage, but all candidates with a strong background in seismology will be considered.

The University of Oslo wishes to recruit more women in research positions. Women are encouraged to apply.

Closing date for application: Dec 1st., 2008.
