PhD and Postdoc opportunities announcement
Clermont-Ferrand Centre for Volcano Research
Seeking world-class PhD students, post-doctoral research fellows and technical engineers in the field of volcanic and magmatic systems.
The ClerVolc consortium involves six laboratories of Blaise Pascal University in Clermont-Ferrand, France (Collaboratrices of Earth Science ‘Magmas et Volcans’, Particle Physics, Physical Meteorology, Social and Cognitive Psychology, Mathematics, Computer Science), the Observatoire de Physique du Globe at Clermont-Ferrand, and the French Geological Survey (BRGM). The consortium, which is led by P. Schiano director, T. Druitt scientific coordinator, has received funding for a collaborative research programme from the French government ‘Laboratories of Excellence’ initiative. The programme addresses fundamental questions in the field of magma generation, volcano dynamics, volcanic hazards and volcanic risk.
We are seeking candidates for five projects, to start in October of 2015. The projects are at post-doctoral (PDoc) and doctoral (PhD) levels. Postdoctoral projects are divided into those with that are strongly research-oriented (PDocRes), and those with important components of technical development (PDocTech).
Details of the projects, post profiles, salaries, contact addresses, application procedures and deadlines may be found at the following link:
