University Researcher in Environmental Seismology
University Researcher in Environmental Seismology
University of Helsinki - Faculty of Science
Helsinki, Finland
Position description
The university researcher will conduct and develop interdisciplinary research within the field of environmental seismology and will participate in national regulatory duties where seismological monitoring is used. The focus is on using seismological methods for environmental monitoring and to study seismic and aseismic processes in the lithosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, and/or biosphere.
The university researcher is expected to develop and apply inverse methods to integrate multidisciplinary data. The University of Helsinki maintains an extensive network of permanent seismic stations, biological field stations, and atmospheric stations, making multidisciplinary data sets available for new research avenues. A key element in the research is the joint analysis of continuous or campaign seismic, solid earth geophysical, geoscientific, and environmental data collected by a variety of modern sensor and data acquisition systems. These include the domestic infrastructures of the Finnish national seismic network and instruments of the, as well as geoscientific and environmental data from research field stations, infrastructures including ACTRIS, ICOS, LTER, AnaEE and the EPOS data portal, for example.
The university researcher will develop and maintain active research collaboration within the University of Helsinki, with national and international research institutes, and with industry and the public sector.
The post involves thesis supervision and teaching is expected to occupy approximately one course per year within the Geoscience curriculum. All personnel take part in development and administrative tasks on the institute, department, faculty and university level.
Requirements for the position
A university researcher must hold an applicable doctoral degree, demonstrate research experience related to environmental seismology and to show evidence of active international research collaboration. We expect a university researcher to conduct research on an internationally high level and be successful in obtaining external research funding.
The successful candidate will develop and apply environmental monitoring strategies based on seismic methods; hence preference will be given to applicants who have experience in the computational analysis of space-time phenomena.
Fluent English skills are expected, and proficiency in Finnish provides a significant advantage. If the appointee is not proficient in Finnish, they are expected to acquire advanced level skills (CEFR level B2) within five years after the appointment. The University will support the appointee in acquiring the necessary Finnish language skills.
