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: 1. 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. 2. Combining this framework with geological observables to investigate the time-dependent expression of slab thermal structure, slab devolatilization, and rock exhumation. 3. Contributing to the project’s NSF Broader Impacts which include: 1) developing a classroom activity for introductory geoscience classes, 2) 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.
