Are you passionate about the Earth and its interior dynamics? Are you keen to make new discoveries about subduction and mantle flow processes? Do you get excited about laboratory-based geodynamic modelling? Then this vacancy might be something for you. The vacancy is part of a project funded by the Dutch National Research Council (NWO) that focuses on laboratory-based geodynamic modelling of subduction and mantle flow processes. Tasks for the postdoc position The postdoc will develop, record and analyze experimental geodynamic models of subduction to test the influence of the experimental subduction rate and mantle viscosity on the mantle velocity field. Research will be published in peer-reviewed journals and the applicant will present the results at national and international conferences.
Requirements
Profile for the postdoc position
PhD in Geology or Geophysics;
experience with geodynamic modelling (laboratory-based (analogue) and/or numerical) of geological processes as evidenced by a track record of first-author, peer-reviewed, publications (experience with modelling of subduction/mantle dynamics will be considered advantageous);
excellent ability to communicate in both written and spoken English;
strong scientific motivation, and an interest in geodynamic processes of the Solid Earth;
ability to work independently and in a team environment;
good social skills and communication skills.
