University of Leeds
Leeds, United Kingdom
Closing Date: 27th November 2013
Description
The School has a strong international research profile in the geophysical sciences, with particular strengths in applied geophysics and seismology. You will work on a new project funded by the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) - Radiation and the Environment (RATE) programme. RATE aims to make major contributions to enhancing environmental protection and safeguarding human health from releases of radioactivity from nuclear power plants, waste repositories and legacy-contaminated sites. Leeds is part of a consortium project entitled "Hydromechanical and biogeochemical processes in fractured rock masses in the vicinity of a geological disposal facility for radioactive waste". Your role will focus on forward modeling the effects of fractures on seismic wave propagation to inform survey designs for repositories.
Requirements
You will have a PhD either in seismology, geophysics, physics, applied mathematics, engineering, or a closely related area. You should be familiar with elastic wave theory, mechanics of fractures, and numerical modelling techniques. Strong computer programming skills and prior development of numerical models will be a major asset. You will require good communication skills and the ability to work in a multi-disciplinary team environment. You will be expected to publish research papers and to present your research at national and international meetings.
