Opportunities exist for collaboration with existing research groups in crustal processes, surficial processes, and hydrogeology. A Ph.D. in Geophysics or a related field with emphasis in geophysics is required. We seek candidates with research specialization in seismology, geodesy, paleomagnetism, including magnetostratigraphy, with applications in lithospheric dynamics, tectonics or neotectonics.
