The California Institute of Technology Seismological Laboratory is advertising postdoctoral fellowship opportunities in geophysics. The opening spans a broad set of research areas, including seismology, earthquake physics, geodesy, geodynamics, mineral physics, tectonics, seismic network operations, and new sensing methods. There are two main application routes. First, applicants to the GPS Division Prize Fellowships by November 6 will automatically be considered for both the Seismo Lab Director’s Fellowship and the Geophysics Option Fellowship, with no additional Seismo Lab application required. Second, candidates may apply directly to the Seismo Lab Director’s Fellowship by December 15 ; this route also considers applicants for both the Director’s and Geophysics Option fellowships, and does not require a division prize application. Applicants through either route may also be considered for faculty-funded postdoctoral positions. The post encourages applicants to identify or contact potential faculty hosts, although this is optional. A separate Caltech Presidential Postdoctoral Fellowship opportunity is also mentioned, with its own application process. This is a strong fit for researchers in Earth Science and Physics with interests in geophysics, seismology, earthquake processes, and related observational or theoretical methods. For full details and application instructions, use the linked announcement and review the fellowship information carefully before submitting materials.
