[Geoqus] Postdoc opportunity in Geodynamics, University of Maryland

[Laurent Montesi]

TheDepartment of Geology at the University of Maryland 
<http://www.geology.umd.edu> has an opening for a postdoctoral Research 
Associate to work in the geodynamics laboratory 
<http://www.geology.umd.edu/%7Emontesi/Geodynamics/index.html> on a 
project funded by the National Science Foundation.

The project, entitled *"Fabric Evolution and the Development of Ductile 
Shear Zones,"***aims at better constraining, from a theoretical and 
mechanical point of view, the structure of the lithosphere beneath 
seismically active faults. The research associate will develop a 
numerical model of strike-slip motion using the deal.II finite element 
library <http://www.dealii.org> and simulate with it the development of 
a ductile shear zone underneath a seismogenic fault. Experience in 
computational modeling, especially using finite element methods, is 
highly desirable.

The position is for 2 ½ years, contingent upon satisfactory performance. 
All Ph.D. requirements must be completed by the time of appointment.*To 
apply, please send, preferably by **email**, (1) a brief **cover 
letter**stating **research interests and experience**, along with 
contact information for **three references**(name, institute and email 
address are sufficient), and (2) a **CV including a publication list**to:*
