Postdoctoral or Research Associate Position in Reflection/Refraction
Seismology at Dalhousie University

The departments of Earth Sciences and Oceanography seek a recent PhD in controlled source seismology interested in analyzing wide-angle refraction and marine multichannel seismic reflection data collected at rifted continental margins. The primary analysis to be carried out by the successful candidate is focused on dense OBS refraction profiles from offshore eastern Canada. In addition, the successful candidate is expected to interact with other members of the DIG (Dalhousie Imaging Group) and collaborate on a broad range of projects spanning mid-ocean ridges, subduction zones and rifted continental margin. He/she will make use of a new facility for controlled source seismic data analysis that consists of a large computer cluster (600 GHz compute power), many dual-monitor workstations, large data storage facility (80 TB), DLT tape drive, visualization and other state-of-the-art equipment. He/she will also be encouraged to participate in the ongoing research cruises and interact with our government and industry partners. For more detailed information see http://myweb.dal.ca/ml234413/.

The position is available for two years. To apply, send by April 1, 2010 cover letter, CV, a statement of research interests and the names, addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses of three references to:
