Job Title: Postdoctoral Researcher in Seismic Imaging

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team at the University of Texas at Austin. The successful candidate will work on a project focused on seismic imaging techniques to study the structure and subduction zone processes of the Guerrero Seismic Gap of the Middle America Trench.

About the Project

The Guerrero Gap of the Middle American Trench has not ruptured in a M>7 earthquake in >100 yrs but hosts the largest known slow-slip events that occur at depths between 15 and 40km. In contrast, the neighboring megathrust segments have ruptured in M>7 earthquakes and appear to be strongly coupled. The main goals of this project are to use recently acquired active source seismic data to provide new insights into the along-strike changes in structure, composition and properties of the incoming and overriding plates as well as the megathrust fault, and how these changes relate to along-strike variability in slip behavior in the Mexican subduction zone.

Responsibilities
  • Conduct full waveform inversion on multichannel and ocean bottom seismometer data to resolve fine scale velocity structure of the Guerrero Seismic Gap and neighboring segments of the Middle American Trench.
  • Investigate links between rock properties, fluids, and slow-slip events of the Guerrero Seismic Gap and other subduction zones.
  • Help develop and lead new research projects in related areas.
  • Contribute to research within a vibrant group of students, postdocs, and staff.
  • Present results to the scientific community and broader public.
Requirements
  • Ph.D. in geophysics, geology, or a related field, completed within the last three years.
  • Strong background in active source seismic data processing, analysis, and interpretation.
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative working mindset.
  • Strong publication record in closely related research topics.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Research experience with full waveform inversion of active and/or passive source seismic data.
  • Research experience related to subduction zone processes and geohazards.
