The Institute of Marine Sciences (ICM-CSIC) is seeking a pre-doctoral student to work in the Barcelona Center for Subsurface Imaging, which studies continental rifting, seafloor spreading, and subduction systems.
The successful candidate will be involved in a research project that will develop a self-consistent three-dimensional model of the crustal and upper mantle structure of the Atlas mountain belt, from the westernmost part in the Atlantic Ocean to its easternmost end in Tunisia. Two new temporary seismic networks will be deployed during this project to cover the unmonitored areas. On the one hand, a marine seismic survey will be carried out in the Atlantic margin of the westernmost Atlas and, on the other hand, a temporary land seismic network will be deployed in Tunisia, at the easternmost end of the Atlas Mountains. The proposal will also take advantage of the extensive seismic waveform data sets available in North Africa from several projects and surveys, as well as from permanent stations in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia.
Applications can be submitted until 27th October 2020 at the following link. For further information, please check linked documents.
