Exciting news! We're transitioning to the Statewide California Earthquake Center. Our new website is under construction, but we'll continue using this website for SCEC business in the meantime. We're also archiving the Southern Center site to preserve its rich history. A new and improved platform is coming soon!

1. Gordon Research Conference and Seminar on Rock Deformation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear colleagues -

Please consider applying for the upcoming Gordon Research Conference on Rock Deformation: From Slow to Fast Rock Deformation and Back, scheduled for August 16-21, 2016 at Proctor Academy, NH.  This conference will provide a unique opportunity to explore the breadth of scientific disciplines relating to rock deformation, including rock physics, geology, geophysics, seismology, mechanics, and civil engineering.

The conference will bring together a collection of junior and senior investigators who are at the forefront of their field, and will provide opportunities for junior scientists and graduate students to present their work in poster format and exchange ideas with leaders in the field. The collegial and open atmosphere of this Conference, with programmed discussion sessions as well as opportunities for informal gatherings in the afternoons, evenings and during the meals, provides a venue for scientists from different disciplines to brainstorm and promotes cross-disciplinary collaborations in the various research areas represented. 

There will be an associated Gordon Research Seminar for early career investigators, before the Conference, August 20-21.   We expect there to be some funds to help support student travel and registration fees.

See the two weblinks for both events, from which you can also apply (separate applications are required for each event):

Gordon Research Conference on Rock Deformation

Attendance is limited for both conferences, so early registrations are encouraged!

Hope to see you there!

2. 1 PhD and 1 PostDoc position in Rock Physics, Univ. Oslo, Norway
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear colleagues,

Please, forward among your colleagues and students these propositions
for 1 PhD position and 1 Post-doctoral position at the University of
Oslo, with collaborations with the Universities of Grenoble Alpes,
Copenhagen, and Maryland.

These positions are in the framework of the research project
“Unravelling the spatio-temporal nature of rock deformation using 4D
X-ray tomography” funded by the Norwegian Research Council. This project
will bring together a collection of junior and senior investigators who
are at the forefront of their field, in the domains of rock physics,
flow in porous media, geophysics, and mechanics.

See the two web links below for both job descriptions, from which
candidates can apply. The deadline for application is May, 31st, 2016,
and the successful candidates will be recruited no later than September,
30th, 2016.
