1) PhD and Postdoctoral Positions Earthquake Geology and/or Holocene Sea Level – Singapore
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce a fully-funded PhD and a postdoctoral scholar position in the Asian School of the Environment and the Earth Observatory of Singapore, at Nanyang Technological University, in Singapore.
Potential topics of focus include (but are not limited to):
- paleoseismology and paleogeodesy of the Sunda megathrust (in Sumatra, Indonesia)
- paleoseismology and paleogeodesy of the Manila trench (in Luzon, Philippines)
- relative sea level and neotectonics over the Holocene in Southeast Asia
For the PhD position, there are two intakes of PhD students annually, in January and in August. The deadline for the submission of applications is 31st January for the August intake, and 31st July for the following January intake. I will consider candidates for either intake in 2019, but preference will be given to candidates who contact me sooner rather than later. The PhD program lasts 4 or 5 years and is fully funded with a competitive stipend for the duration.
For the postdoctoral position, interested candidates should contact me as early as possible. The appointment will be for up to 3 years, and a competitive salary will be offered.
Prior to the formal application procedure, interested candidates are encouraged to send me their CV and a brief note (roughly 200-500 words) describing how their research interests will tie in with those of my research group. I can be contacted at meltzner@ntu.edu.sg.
I will be at the AOGS meeting in Honolulu in June. I would be happy to meet with potential applicants during the meeting.

2) Post-doc volcanology-fluid dynamics – School of Geosciences, University of South Florida
The USF College of Arts and Sciences (Tampa campus) cordially invites candidates with a Doctoral degree in volcanology, geology, geophysics, computer sciences or a related area with research focus in computational fluid dynamics to apply for this Post- Doctoral Research Scholar position. This is a full-time position with a starting date expected no later than October 1st, 2018, that may be renewed annually depending on satisfactory performance and funding availability up to a maximum of two years. Health insurance benefits will be offered through the USF postdoctoral scholar health insurance program:
http://usfweb2.usf.edu/human-resources/benefits/post-doc-insurance.asp
The selected candidate will work in the volcanology group, School of Geosciences, University of South Florida and conduct research for the NSF CAREER Project entitled “Developing a consensual validation and benchmarking procedure for Pyroclastic Density Current (PDC) hazard models”. The tasks of the Postdoctoral Researcher assigned to the project will be (but not limited) to: (1) implement the physical/sedimentological PDC models; (2) create a database of PDC metrics/components; and (3) set up the model validation/benchmarking exercises. In addition, the selected candidate will work with the volcanology group to write and publish manuscripts, prepare and submit proposals related to the group’s current and planned research agenda, and provide support in terms of the daily activities associated with existing research. The candidate is also encouraged to develop his/her own research agenda.
QUALIFICATIONS (Education & Experience):
Minimum Qualifications:
Doctoral degree in volcanology, geology, geophysics, computer sciences or a related area with research focus in computational fluid dynamics. Must meet university criteria for appointment to the rank of Postdoctoral Fellow.
Preferred Qualifications:
Candidates with research expertise or experience in one or more of the following will be reviewed favorably: volcanology, field-based studies and/or laboratory experiments of granular and/or multiphase flows, computational fluid dynamics, physics and/or numerical modeling of granular and/or multiphase flows, quantitative data modeling and analysis, statistical and mathematical modeling, programming.
