PhD position in Seismology at LMU, Munich

10. Jan 2014

The use of ocean-generated seismic noise has dramatically increased in recent years. Noise correlations make it possible to exploit the vast amounts of background noise recorded continuously around the world. In a way, they allow us to exploit seismic noise to perform earthquake-free seismology. This has resulted in an explosion in the number of high-resolution tomographic images in the past decade. Noise correlations have also been used successfully to monitor wave speed changes over time in potentially dangerous structures such as landslides, volcanoes and active fault zones. Most of the applications so far have concentrated on the vertical component records, but recently more interest arises to include the information contained in the horizontal components.
One of the major unknowns in this emerging field of seismology is the origin of this horizontally polarized ambient noise. In particular, it is not yet understood how microseismic Love waves are generated by the oceans. This PhD project will aim to understand the physical mechanisms responsible for exciting the observed Love waves.
PhD – Simulation of Love wave generation and propagationAim: Implement 3D simulation of expected source mechanisms using realistic bathymetry and velocity models for area of interest. Simulate noise sources using wave-wave interaction data, and compare to real ambient noise records. Better constraints on the location and behavior of noise sources will help us understand the ocean - solid Earth interaction processes driving them.
Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, LMU Munich
The Geophysics section of the LMU in Munich offers excellent working conditions, along with training in parallel computing, numerical methods, data processing and programming. The computational environment available to host strongly numerical based projects is unparalleled in Germany. The project is set in the context of international collaboration with partners in Ireland and France, including regular research visits.
Requirements
We are seeking a highly motivated candidate with excellent academic records from a wide range of backgrounds. They must hold a MSc or equivalent in geophysics, physics, oceanography, applied mathematics or related fields, and have a strong background in numerical methods. Exposure to time series analysis and partial differential equations would be advantageous. Some familiarity with computer programming (Python, Matlab, Fortran) and a solid knowledge of English are mandatory.
The PhD position is fully funded by the DFG Emmy Noether programme. The appointment will begin as soon as possible and will be for three years. Review of applications will start immediately and continue until a suitable candidate is found.
Application Procedure
For more information, please contact us. Applicants should send a cover letter and CV along with the names and complete contact information of two references to:

PhD student in Environmental Science LINKÖPING UNIVERSITY

At the Department of Thematic Studies research, research training, graduate and undergraduate education is carried out in multi- and interdisciplinary units. A specific thematic programme defines the profile of the research and education of each environment as well as the corresponding study plan for PhD education. The Department gives priority to these programmes, where the doctoral students are organised in graduate schools within the framework of each thematic unit. Today, there are four thematic units at the Department: Child Studies, Gender Studies, Technology and Social Change Studies, and Water and Environmental Studies. Within the thematic units, scholars with backgrounds in social science, humanities, natural and technical sciences as well as with interdisciplinary fields collaborate. At the Department of Thematic Studies, there are two international Master’s programmes, a graduate level programme, and engagement in undergraduate education within child studies, geography, environmental studies, gender studies and thematic natural science. The Department of Thematic Studies hosts six centres that undertake research and education: Centre for Climate Science and Policy Research, Centre of Gender Excellence, Nordic Research School in Interdisciplinary Gender Studies, Swedish-International Research School in Interdisciplinary Gender Studies, Centre for gender studies and equality, and Centre for Technology and Society at Linköping University.

The Department of Thematic Studies - Water and Environmental Studies (WES) is an interdisciplinary milieu within the Department of Thematic Studies, and includes about 60 employees of which a third is PhD-students. It is a centre for multi- and interdisciplinary research and education, where natural and cultural scientists collaborate in search for knowledge across the boundaries of traditional disciplines. The research covers a spectrum of environmental issues and questions in the borderland of nature-society and the relationship between water, landscape and man. It combines various perspectives, theories, techniques and methods from various disciplines and traditions including both contemporary as well as historical studies. WES is the administrative unit for the undergraduate programs Environmental Science (BSc program) and Science for Sustainable Development (MSc program) as well as for single subject courses within Geography, Environmental Science and Thematic Natural Science. In addition WES hosts a graduate education in Environmental Science. A major research laboratory is a fundamental platform of this department.
