James Verdon

A fully funded PhD position is available at the University of Bristol, supervised by James Verdon, Senior Lecturer in Applied Geophysics. The project focuses on developing artificial intelligence-based methods to detect and characterise explosions using seismic arrays. This research is part of the NTR-Net initiative and is conducted in partnership with AWE Blacknest, offering a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of AI, seismology, and geophysics. Applicants should have a strong background in geophysics, geology, mathematics, physics, engineering, or related fields. Experience with seismological methods or deep learning models is preferred. Due to the sensitive nature of the project, only UK nationals or nationals of NATO member states who have the right to remain in the UK and can obtain UK security clearance are eligible. Funding is guaranteed for the duration of the project, though specific details about stipend and tuition are not provided. Interested candidates should review the project details via the provided link and apply through the University of Bristol's application portal. The application deadline is December 28, 2024.
