The University of Oxford's Department of Earth Sciences is hiring a Postdoctoral Research Assistant (24-month fixed term) for a NERC-funded project investigating earthquake nucleation mechanisms, working with Jessica Hawthorne and Stefan Nielsen at Oxford and Nicola De Paola at Durham University. The role applies seismological analysis tools to identify precursory signals before earthquake nucleation and conducts fault-slip modelling linking laboratory and natural-scale behavior.
Candidates should have experience in seismic data analysis and a track record of robust scientific analysis, with motivation to integrate seismological observations, experiments, and modelling. Applications require a CV and supporting statement; manuscripts and transcripts are not considered. Deadline 23 November 2026, with interviews 3 December 2026.
