Postdoc in Experimental Geodynamic Modelling Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in Netherlands

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the NWO-funded project “Unraveling the geometry of subduction-induced mantle flow.” The project investigates how subduction drives mantle flow and how the experimental subduction rate and mantle viscosity influence the resulting mantle velocity field. The postdoc will develop, record and analyse laboratory-based experimental geodynamic models of subduction. The research will involve low-Reynolds-number fluid dynamics and de...

Project focus: This postdoctoral research position centers on acoustic emission monitoring of multiphase deformation experiments, with an emphasis on tracking brittle clasts embedded in a fluid as they fail during deformation. The successful candidate will develop an acoustic monitoring system for an existing ring shear apparatus and use it to observe failure processes in space and time within a semi-brittle material. The work is designed to connect local deformation mechanisms with bulk deforma...

The University of Texas at Austin’s Institute for Geophysics (UTIG), part of the Jackson School of Geosciences, is inviting applications for a Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship in earth and planetary sciences . This is a competitive institutional postdoctoral fellowship for recent PhD recipients who want to pursue self-directed research in any scientific subfield that aligns with or expands UTIG’s research directions. The position is based at the Pickle Research Campus at UT Austin. Research...

The Australian National University is advertising a Postdoc / Research Fellow in Seismology at the ANU Research School of Earth Sciences in Canberra, Australia. The project focuses on observational seismology and aims to investigate upper mantle structure using receiver functions beneath the WA-Array , a continental-scale array covering Western Australia. This is a strong opportunity for researchers interested in seismology, geophysics, Earth structure, and mantle imaging. The position is open a...

University of Twente is recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher for a project on integrating In-Well Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) with seismological stations for offshore near-real-time monitoring . The work sits at the intersection of Earth science, seismology, geophysics, signal processing, machine learning, and geospatial data science . The project aims to transform existing in-well fiber-optic DAS cables into dense seismic sensing arrays and combine them with offshore seismological statio...
