The Department of Earth Sciences is seeking to appoint a part time Research Assistant (0.65FTE), to help support an ongoing seismic data collection and analysis exercise in and around Askja caldera, located in the Northern Volcanic Zone (NVZ) of Iceland.
Askja last erupted in 1961, and continuous monitoring shows that it has gradually deflated over the last 50 years or so. However, in August 2021, it switched to reinflation, and to date, over 60 cm of surface uplift has been detected so far, suggesting that a large eruption may be in the offing. The Cambridge Volcano Seismology Group (CVSG) based in the Department of Earth Sciences has run a passive seismic array of broadband seismometers in the NVZ since 2007, and has collected an unprecedented dataset over the last 15+ years that has captured the ongoing deflation and switch to reinflation. Furthermore, as a result of NERC Urgency funding, we are in the process of densely instrumenting the Askja caldera in order to properly capture the earthquake activity related to this once-in-a-lifetime event.
Applicants should have a degree in Earth Sciences, or equivalent discipline. Fieldwork experience in Iceland and expertise in the processing and analysis of earthquake data from Iceland are essential. Practical experience in using Linux/Unix operating systems is also required, alongside excellent communication skills and attention to detail. Experience with Python, obspy and GMT, alongside methods for computing earthquake focal mechanisms would be advantageous. Previous experience deploying or servicing seismometers in Iceland and experience in writing reports or publications in English, is also desirable.
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 4 years in the first instance.
The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
