Job Description
We are looking to appoint a Research Fellow in Computational Antarctic Geophysics to contribute to seismology and earth system research at the University of Tasmania. This is a two-year fixed term opportunity with appointment at Academic Level B. In this role you will use advanced scientific computing and geophysical data analysis to generate new knowledge on the evolution of Antarctic glaciers through seismology, drawing on both locally held and international datasets. You will undertake high quality research of national and emerging international standing, publish research findings, and contribute to the supervision of research higher degree students. The role provides opportunities to collaborate across disciplines, build external research partnerships, support undergraduate learning through project supervision, and contribute to an inclusive and collaborative research culture aligned with the University's strategic priorities in Antarctic research, climate science and excellence in STEM.
Job Responsibility
Analyse Antarctic seismic datasets using advanced computational and inverse methods
Produce high quality research outputs with emerging international impact
Contribute to PhD and Honours supervision and support undergraduate projects
