**About us**:
UCL is one of the world's top universities. Based in the heart of London, it is a modern, outward-looking institution. At its establishment in 1826, UCL was radical and responsive to the needs of society, and this ethos - that excellence should go hand-in-hand with enriching society - continues today. UCL Earth Sciences is one of the oldest centres for Earth and planetary sciences in the UK, situated in Bloomsbury in the heart of London.

**About the role**:
We are seeking to appoint a research fellow position in Computational Seismology, to be held in the Department of Earth Sciences at UCL. The ERC-funded project UPFLOW will develop entirely new seismic imaging approaches along with new seismic data to constrain upward mantle flow in an unprecedented level of detail.

The post is available for 36 months in the first instance and collaborations are envisaged with various institutions in Europe and with astrophysics colleagues at UCL.

This post will focus on developing new observational design algorithms for finding optimal seismic observables in seismology, with a particular focus on optimal observables designed to constrain upward mantle flow.

**About you**:
Experience is seismic forward waveform modelling using 3-D Earth models and experience in developing new seismic inversion algorithms is essential.

Experience with advanced computational seismology, including building new codes in python, Fortran and/or C++ and in seismic tomography inversions is also essential.

**What we offer**:
As well as the exciting opportunities this role presents, we also offer some great benefits some of which are below:

- 41 Days holiday (27 days annual leave 8 bank holiday and 6 closure days)
- Additional 5 days’ annual leave purchase scheme
- Defined benefit career average revalued earnings pension scheme (CARE)
- Cycle to work scheme and season ticket loan
- Immigration loan
- Relocation scheme for certain posts
- On-Site nursery
- On-site gym
- Enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption pay
- Employee assistance programme: Staff Support Service
- Discounted medical insurance

**Our commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion**:
As London’s Global University, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation, and we want our community to represent the diversity of the world’s talent. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where we all belong.

These include people from Black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds; disabled people; LGBTQI+ people; and for our Grade 9 and 10 roles, women.

Our department holds an Athena SWAN Bronze award, in recognition of our commitment to advancing gender equality.
