Postdoc Position, Computational Geoscience, Stanford

[administrator]

We are looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the SIGMA (Simulations of Geophysical Multi-phAse flows) group at the Department of Geophysics, Stanford University. More information about the SIGMA group can be found at: https://sigma.stanford.edu

The successful candidate will be working on the 'next generation' of multiphase flow codes for tackling fundamental problems in Earth Science. Depending on interest and qualifications, potential applications range from ice-stream modeling in West Antarctica to developing computational models of volcanic eruptions and tsunami runup.

We welcome applications from candidates with a background or a strong interest in Earth Science and Computational Fluid Dynamics. Proficiency in C/C++, Matlab or a suitable substitute is required. Previous experience in developing numerical models for coupled systems of partial differential equations is highly desirable.

Salary and benefits for the position are very competitive. The actual salary will be determined by the University commensurate with qualifications and experience and includes a research allowance for travel and miscellaneous expenses. We are actively recruiting for this position now and wish to fill at least one position soon, but regardless of your availability date, we encourage you to apply to the position, as it is possible for multiple positions to become available.

Appointments will be for one year, renewable for a second and third year by mutual agreement. The position is for one year, with renewal for a second year subject to performance and funding availability. Applications should be sent electronically (application letter, CV and names of three referees) to Jenny Suckale jsuckale@stanford.edu. Please contact me if there are any questions about the scope of the position and experience requirements.
