Missions

The Institut des Sciences de la Terre at Grenoble (ISTerre/CNRS), France is opening a Postdoc position in the framework of the ERC project SEISMAZE.
This project is aimed at studies of slow transient deformation processes in geological systems based on seismological observations.
One of the central activities of this project is the development of new approaches for the modeling of slow transient processes in tectonic and volcanic contexts.

Activities

The proposed 2-year postdoc position is focused on numerical modeling of seismic tremors and slow deformation transients observed in major tectonic faults and volcanic systems based on methods combining viscoelastic and damage rheologies.
The position is expected to start in the fall of 2021.

Skills

We are looking for highly motivated candidates with strong numerical and methodological skills.
At the time of appointment, the successful postdoc candidates must have a PhD degree in geophysics, physics, mechanics or a closely related field and a strong expertise in numerical simulations of rheological models, as well as excellent English skills.
