Postdoctoral Positions Available

Three post-doctoral positions in earthquake studies are available in ICTP's Earth System Physics (ESP) section.

Two of the positions are funded by the GENERALI Group, a major player in the global insurance industry, in the framework of a research project integrating earthquake fault studies and simulations of ground motion.

The third position is funded in the framework of an international collaborative effort following the recent Nepal Gorkha 2015 earthquake. The research topic involves a study of the structure, dynamics and seismicity of Nepal Himalaya.

ICTP offers internationally competitive remuneration, commensurate with the candidates' research experience. An enthusiasm for contributing to the capacity building mission of ICTP would be useful (more on www.ictp.it). The positions are offered for an initial period of one year, renewable for up to an additional two years, to start as soon as possible.

The application deadline is 31 October 2015. More details about the opportunities are here.
