The Rock Deformation Laboratory and Seismology Group invites applications from highly motivated and talented individuals for the position of post-doctoral research associate to work on a UKRI – India funded grant focused on intra- and inter-plate seismicity and hazard in India. In this project, you will investigate key differences between intra- and inter-plate seismicity from local seismic networks and attempt to understand these using analogue laboratory experiments. Acquisition and processing of both seismic data from India and acoustic emissions from laboratory frictional sliding experiments will be employed to characterize populations of events. The position includes a range of fieldwork opportunities, including sample collection and deployment of seismic networks in India. You will work with the Liverpool team as well as with the Indian team whose expertise lies in seismology, borehole geophysics and laboratory testing. The project also includes elements of outreach, in which the successful candidate will be expected to contribute, to communicate mitigation of seismic hazard to local government and schools.The Rock Deformation Laboratory is a leading global facility for research into the fundamental processes of rock deformation.
