The Department of Earth, Ocean and Ecological Sciences is seeking to recruit a highly motivated numerical modelling PDRA to create mantle convection models that incorporate mineral and consequent density changes and their feedbacks. You will liaise with modellers in Germany and Cardiff, with seismologists in Cambridge concerning model predictions, and constrain inputs to your models working with microstructural modellers in Liverpool and experimentalists in Manchester and University College London (UK). You will be part of a team studying mantle dynamics, details here.
Project leader Professor John Wheeler will work closely with you and guide the research; he and co-investigators have extensive experience of applying numerical models to Earth science problems on scale of grains to km. The Department of Earth, Ocean and Ecological Sciences supports a wide range of mathematical research including magnetic field evolution, magma movement in the crust and sedimentary sequence evolution. The University of Liverpool has centrally maintained super-computing facilities and time on the UK National Supercomputing Service (ARCHER 2) will be applied for as required.
You should have a PhD (awarded or imminent) with strong numerical component in Earth Science, Mathematics, or physical or chemical topic.
Any applicants who are still awaiting their PhD to be awarded should be aware that if successful, they will be appointed at grade 6, spine point 30. Upon written confirmation that they have been successful in being awarded their PhD, they will be moved onto grade 7 , spine point 31 from the date of their award.
The University has the right to close the vacancy early if it is deemed that there have been enough applications received
