PhD and Post-Doc positions in the Netherlands on induced seismicity

Date: 02/27/2019

On Behalf of Ylona van Dinther, Utrecht University:
--------------------------------------------------------------

Subject: PhD and post-doc positions in the Netherlands on induced seismicity

Dear SCEC community,

This is to inform you of openings for two PhD positions and one postdoc at Utrecht University and Delft University of Technology (Netherlands) in the framework of the DeepNL Project InFocus “An Integrated Approach to Understanding and Forecasting Induced Fault Slip” [1]. This multi-disciplinary project aims to improve our physical understanding of induced seismicity and explore how ensemble-based data assimilation can improve estimation and forecasting of seismicity.

One PhD position will be at Utrecht University and is related to experimental and numerical modelling of induced earthquakes. The second PhD position will be at TU Delft and is related to data assimilation for earthquake estimation. The post-doc is based at Utrecht University, but will work at both universities to further develop a hydro-thermo-mechanical model for seismicity. For more information, including the descriptions of the positions, requirements for application and conditions of employment, please visit the project website at the following link:

Deadline for applications is March 15th, 2019, but the positions remain open until filled.

We would appreciate it if you could pass this announcement on to anyone who might be interested.

Kind regards,

Ylona van Dinther (UU)
Andre Niemeijer (UU)
Elmer Ruigrok (KNMI-UU)
Femke Vossepoel (TUD)

Want to send an announcement to the SCEC community?
SCEC community announcement requests should be sent to scecinfo@usc.edu (no attachments) with the following requirements, in order to best standardize announcements and provide maximum security for recipients. These requirements also ensure that various email applications and any applied filters reach the recipient as the announcement was intended.
1) Use this style guide :
• All text must be in Helvetica, 12 pt.
• Bold, italics, and underline formatting is permitted.
• Consider the length of web links; use bit.ly or tinyurl.com to shorten them as needed.
• NO PDFs, Word Docs, images, or other attachments - all content must be in the email request itself.
2) Include a subject line.

3) Remember, send your request to scecinfo@usc.edu.

We strive to send announcements as soon as possible. In general, expect a 2-3 business day turn-around. We may also combine announcements with others, delay sending certain announcements due to current events, and even reject requests if they do not fit the needs of the SCEC community.
