Post-doctoral position in geophysical data integration
A position as a post-doctoral researcher is available at the Dublin Institute for Advanced
Studies (DIAS). The research project is aimed at developing inversion strategies to combine
complementary geophysical datasets. Recently, new, large, complementary geophysical
datasets have emerged that will allow the determination of the compositional and thermal
structure of Ireland’s crust and lithosphere: an island-wide 3-D electrical conductivity
structure of the lower crust and uppermost mantle are imaged using both legacy and newly
acquired long-period magnetotelluric data, and seismic wave tomography images of the
crust and upper mantle beneath Ireland are built from the abundant broadband seismic data
over the past decade. The main focus of the post-doc will be on implementing an inversion
approach to integrate these electrical conductivity and velocity datasets including potential
field data.
The successful candidate will be part of the Electromagnetic Research group working with
Dr Duygu Kiyan and will be in close collaboration with the Seismology groups at DIAS.
The mandatory requirements for the position are listed below:
- Holding a PhD in Geophysics or a closely relative field
- Experience working with modelling and inversion methods in geophysics
- Demonstrable experience in computer programming for scientific applications The position is available until December 2020 inclusive, with the preferred start date of October 1st, 2019. The gross salary will be €38,860. Deadline for applications is September 12th. Potential candidates are required to send a cover letter outlining their research interests, motivation and suitability for the position and a full CV with contact details of two referees via e-mail to geo_recruitment@cp.dias.ie using the subject line “Postdoc Application”. For additional information on the project or working at DIAS please contact Duygu Kiyan (duygu@cp.dias.ie). DIAS is an Equal Opportunities Employer.
This project is part of the Irish Centre for Research in Applied Geoscience, funded under the SFI Research Centres Programme and is co-funded under the European Regional Development Fund.

Last Wednesday, the day the UAE revealed their first image of Mars, China's National Space Administration's Tianwen-1 arrived at Mars. This carries a rover which will be despatched to the surface in the coming months. (3/5) bbc.com/news/science-e…
First up is the @uaespaceagency's Hope mission entered orbit this day last week. It is the first inter-planetary mission by the UAE, and will stay in a wide orbit for one Martian year or two earth years to study climate and weather. (2/5)
It's a busy month over at our planetary neighbour Mars. Three missions headed there have or will enter orbit this month. Why so many at one time? They were timed to launch when the distance between the Earth and Mars was relatively short. (1/5)
