Postdoctoral fellowship in ground motion simulation and site response analysis of the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes

Announcement forwarded from Brendon Bradley (University of Canterbury, New Zealand):
 
Postdoctoral fellowship in ground motion simulation and site response analysis of the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes
 
We seek a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join our on-going research related to ground motion and site response aspects of the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes.  Current research activities involve utilizing broadband ground motion simulation and nonlinear seismic effective stress analyses to develop a unified understanding of the seismic response of sedimentary basins with liquefiable soils, and in particular, their role in producing the ground motions observed in the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes. The fellow will be involved in various aspects of performing both types of simulations, as well as further developing the underlying finite fault, seismic velocity and near-surface nonlinear soil models.

The fellowship is externally-funded for 2 years.  The successful applicant will have completed a PhD in Earthquake/ Civil Engineering, Geophysics, or a closely related subject. Applicants nearing completion of their PhD in the stated subject area will also be considered. The successful appointee will have excellent communication skills and written English, and have a strong research background in their chosen area.
