Offer Description A world-renowned geosciences organisation, the IPGP is associated with the CNRS and an integrated institute of the Université Paris Cité. Bringing together more than 500 people, the IPGP studies the Earth and the planets from the core to the most superficial fluid envelopes, through observation, experimentation and modelling.
The research areas are structured through 4 main unifying themes: Interiors of the Earth and Planets, Natural Hazards, Earth System and Origins.
The IPGP is in charge of labelled observation services in volcanology, seismology, magnetism, gravimetry and erosion. The IPGP's permanent observatories monitor the four active French overseas volcanoes in Guadeloupe, Martinique, Réunion Island and Mayotte.
The IPGP hosts powerful computing resources and state-of-the-art experimental and analytical facilities and benefits from first-class technical support. The IPGP provides its students with geosciences training that combines observation, quantitative analysis and modelling, reflecting the quality, richness and thematic diversity of the research conducted by the IPGP teams.
Team Department The Marine Geoscience Laboratory at IPG Paris, created in 2001, is a multi-disciplinary team, from petrology to geodynamical modeling, involved in leading sea-going marine research, covering from marine active tectonics at subduction zones, intra-plate deformation and volcanism, ridge processes to the formation and evolution of oceanic lithosphere. It leads the French Ocean Bottom Seismometers facility and is housed in the IPG Building in front of the Paris Botanic Garden, in the centre of Paris.
Missions The post-doctoral fellow will take a leading role in seismic survey design, data acquisition, processing and interpretation of active source marine seismic data and integration with other geophysical and petrological results and carry out geodynamical modelling. He/she is also expected to take an active role in the supervision of PhD and Master students working on the project.
The project is funded by the European Research Council to acquire multi-component ultra-deep (80 km) and ultra-long (up to 400 km) combined seismic reflection and refraction data using a couple of thousand of ocean bottom nodes (OBN) across the East Pacific Rise, covering 0-5 Ma old lithosphere. The scientific objective of the experiment is to characterise the nature of Moho, melt in the mantle and the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB), in order to understand the birth of the Moho and the LAB, and develop a comprehensive model for their origins and evolution during the early part of their existence.
Activities The RA is expected to participate in the marine experiment, processing of seismic reflection and refraction data using conventional (e.g., tomography) and advanced data analyses (seismic full waveform inversion), present results at national and international conferences, write and publish papers in peer-reviewed international journals. The RA would also participate in co-supervising Master and PhD students, organise the Team Seminar, etc.
Expected Skills The candidate should be numerate, able to write and modify computer codes, and use industry-standard seismic data processing software. A good knowledge of English, both in writing and speaking, is essential.
Training and experience required The candidate should have completed a PhD degree in geophysics, especially in active source seismology. Experience in seismic tomography, full waveform inversion and multi-component data analysis would be an asset.
