There is PhD position with the Ngā Ngaru Wakapuke program in “Understanding earthquake sequences using near- and on-fault paleoseismology on the western Marlborough Fault System”. To work with leading paleoseismologists from VUW (J Howarth) & GNS.

GFZ Potsdam has an interesting job offer – a 3 yrs Postdoc position on Active Tectonics in Section 4.1 Lithosphere Dynamics. Here’s the ad: https://www.gfz-potsdam.de/en/career/job-offers/details/9763

Our colleagues from the Active Fault & Earthquake Hazard Mitigation Institute at Pukyong National University in Busan (South Korea) advertise a PostDoc position in their team. Here’s the details:

Thanks Sambit Prasanajit Naik for sharing!

Our colleague Gregory De Pascale advertises a PhD position in Iceland:

Do you want to do your PhD in Earth Sciences and research on an exciting Plate boundary in the North Atlantic? Earthquakes are the outcome of plate tectonic motions and important geological hazards and Iceland is a world class laboratory to study these complex systems. Although abundant modern seismicity including historic damaging events and complex tectonic and volcanic interactions are observed, little is known about the active faults, generally normal and strike slip, in Iceland that are responsible for these earthquakes and have an important control on eruptive centers.

The HI (i.e. University of Iceland)-based PhD student that will live in Reykjavik and will focus on the active faults in Iceland in a funded 3-year PhD in Geology project under the supervision of Associate Professor Gregory De Pascale. Applicant must be functional in written and spoken English. Start date is second half of 2024. This will be part of the Faculty of Earth Science and the Institute of Earth Sciences based in Reykjavik.

Call for application of 11 PhD positions in the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Doctoral Network “TREAD: daTa and pRocessess in sEismic hAzarD” project:

https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/59623

Deadline for applications: April 15, 2023

All PhD positions shall start the latest by October 31, 2023.

The aim of TREAD is to train a new generation of researchers to tackle the challenges of earthquake forecasting in complex tectonic settings using integrated observations and physics.

Within the Italian Recovery and Resilience Plan (NPRR/PNRR), the University “Federico II” of Naples offers 1 PhD position with the title “Earthquakes and Volcanoes”. The project will be focused on the study of active faults and seismic hazard. The study area will be mostly located in Southern Apennines. The deadline for application is the 3rd November 2022.

Finally some good news – several job opportunities in active tectonics and related fields are currently being advertised. See the list below. Stay safe and have a great 2021!

There is an interesting job offer at the Scientific Service Gravimetry and Seismology of the Royal Observatory of Belgium and the Unit of Physical Geography and Quaternary of the University of Liège:

A postdoctoral researcher in earthquake geology and tectonic geomorphology

Please find the advert here:

Deadline for application is 29 November, 2019.

USGS is currently recruiting a Mendenhall Postdoctoral Fellow for a project on Marine Geohazards of the Cascadia Subduction Zone, with three general areas of interest: the relationship of Quaternary sediment distribution and stratigraphy to seafloor processes and earthquake history; links between tectonic geomorphology, upper plate structure, and deeper subduction processes; and the influence of fluids and 3D structural interactions on the mechanics of subduction zone forearcs.

A full description of the opportunity is available here:

Potential applicants may contact Jenna Hill (jhill@usgs.gov) or one of the other research advisors associated with this project prior to putting together their research proposal.

The following open position may be of interest for the tectonics community:

The Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris has an opening for a post-doctoral position to
carry out research in tectonics and structural geology. The project (PI: Martine Simoes) is
funded by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) to assess active deformation and
seismic hazards in slowly deforming orogens, by quantifying deformation over various timescales,
from long-term geological deformation down in time to short-term processes at the scale
of the seismic cycle. The Western Kunlun mountain range (China) will be considered as a case
example.
