Dear colleagues,
Apologies for cross-posting. I am sending this on behalf of my
collaborator, Dr. Adam Holt (University of Miami). We are looking for
a Postdoctoral Associate to work on our NSF-funded project focused on
subduction zone geodynamics, combining numerical subduction modeling,
thermodynamic modeling, and rheological constraints to investigate a
range of subduction zone behaviors. See below for information about
the position.
Subduction zone geodynamics Postdoctoral Associate:
The University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric
has an exciting opportunity for a full time Post-Doctoral Associate in
Subduction Zone Geodynamics for a 2-year position.
The successful candidate will work on a highly collaborative
NSF-funded project to explore feedbacks between subduction zone
thermal structure, metamorphism, and rheological structure within
time-evolving subduction zones. In addition to being mentored by Dr.
Adam Holt (University of Miami), the researcher will benefit from
close collaboration with Dr. Cailey Condit (University of Washington),
Dr. Victor Guevara (Amherst College), and undergraduate/graduate
researchers at these institutions.
Core Job Functions:
- Developing a framework that combines geodynamic subduction models
(ASPECT finite element code), thermodynamic modeling (Perple_X
software package), and rheological flow laws derived from experiments
and observations from the exhumed rock record.
- Combining this framework with geological observables to investigate
the time-dependent expression of slab thermal structure, slab
devolatilization, and rock exhumation.
- Contributing to the project’s NSF Broader Impacts which include: 1)
developing a classroom activity for introductory geoscience classes,
- developing a digital museum exhibit (at Amherst College), and 3)
co-organizing a subduction research symposium (at the University of
Washington).
Requirements:
A Ph.D. in a relevant field (geodynamics/geology/geophysics) and a
strong computational background is required. Experience developing
numerical subduction models and constraining these models using
geological observables will be advantageous.
Applicants should also have strong communication skills, publications
in peer-reviewed journals, and a willingness to assist with student
mentorship. Teaching opportunities at the University of Miami will be
provided if this is desired by the Postdoctoral Researcher.
Application:
In addition to a CV, please upload a short cover letter outlining
research experience, research interests, academic goals at the link

All the best,
Adam Holt, Cailey Condit, and Victor Guevara
