1 PhD Position in Applied Geophysics - Multi-component Hardrock Seismics in Sweden | Uppsala University

The PhD candidate will perform research within a planned project in the Nordic countries on the application of multi-component data for hardrock seismic imaging and in particular for both shallow and deep mineral exploration. A major component of the project involves data integration with available geophysical and geological data for 3D geological modeling at both deposit and mining camp scales. Both borehole and laboratory physical property measurements will be carried out during the project. The PhD candidate will also work within a larger research and industrial program with other candidates and researchers from Sweden and abroad (e.g., Nordic institutions and mining companies).

We are seeking a motivated candidate with strong interest in research who has an academic magister/master- or engineering degree, or equivalent, in geophysics, geology, physics, earth sciences or a similar field (formally, four years of university study including a minimum of 1 year at advanced level are required). Linux/Unix and programming skills are necessary; knowledge of software such as GMT, Seismic Unix and shell scripts is a merit. Good oral and written proficiency in English is required. The position is full-time for four years and may include up to 20% of research or teaching assistantship.
