Maria Teresa Ramírez-Herrera is seeking to fill a postdoc position in her group at UNAM, Mexico. Application deadline is 1 June, 2026:

The position is funded within the Polish National Science Centre (NCN) SONATA BIS project “Enhancing paleoseismological record through multi-methods cave deformation analysis tested in diverse Hellenides tectonic regimes”. The project aims to develop methods for using speleothems as indicators of earthquake environmental effects and their application in paleoseismological research.

They are looking for a candidate with experience in numerical modelling (FEM) and/or experience in paleoseismic research or seismological analyses, who will be responsible, among others, for:
• coordinating and preparing input data for FEM analyses and performing numerical modelling of speleothems,
• comparing the results with previous studies and preparing scientific publications.

The position will be based at the Institute of Earth Sciences, University of Silesia in Katowice, with the possibility of partial remote work, and in collaboration with research teams from Greece and Austria. Within the project, 2–3 field trips to caves in Greece are planned (including the collection of lidar data and speleothem samples).

Jacek Szczygieł is looking for a colleague to work on speleothems as seismometers for two years in the research project NCN SONATA BIS  „Enhancing paleoseismological record through multi-methods cave deformation analysis tested in diverse Hellenides tectonic regimes”.

Responsibilities:

• conducting research in the discipline of earth and environmental sciences as a part of the project led by Jacek Szczygieł
• participation in field works in the selected caves in Greece,
• participation in the laboratory works in the Institute of Earth Sciences of the University of Silesia in Katowice,
• coordination and acquisition of output data for the analysis conducted using the Finite Element Method and carrying out FEM modelling of the speleothems,
• participation in preparation of the publications that will be the result of the research conducted as a part of the project,
• completion of necessary administrative tasks in accordance with the Individual Assignment of Duties.

Deadline: 31 October, 2025.

The Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford, seeks to appoint a full-time Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Active Faulting and Earthquake Hazards. The post holder will report to Prof. Richard Walker, Principal Investigator on the project.

The successful candidate will work closely with Prof. Richard Walker, along with the broader COMET community, on a project sponsored by the UK Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) aimed at providing active fault maps and information about earthquake potential and related hazards in proximity to major hydropower developments in Kyrgyzstan. The project will involve both remote-sensing and field-based observations and data collection. It will provide outputs to the World Bank CAWEP (Central Asia Water Energy Power) programme to aid the design process, leading to more resilient development. An important second aim of the project is in working with networks of institutes in central Asia to strengthen capacity, and to develop further efforts in hazard identification across the region. 

Closing Date & Time: 01-Aug-2025 12:00
