[MSNoise] Fwd: [iris-bulk] Post PhD oportunities via bulkmail

[Thomas Lecocq]

Hi all,

Sorry for cross-posting...

But when an MSNoise user is proposing PhD opportunities like this, well, 
I have to forward this !

Best regards from Brussels

*PhD study opportunities in geophysics at the Auckland University, New 
Zealand (deadline 1 August) *

We present the following PhD projects in geophysics at the University of 
Auckland.


*Deciphering volcano seismic signatures from scaled laboratory models 
(EQC PhD scholarship)***

Here, we aim to perform unique laboratory experiments on fluid-induced 
acoustic emissions in a range of volcanic rocks to understand seismic 
observations atWhite Island Volcano (Whakaari), New Zealand. This 
project has also a special outreach component to support the 
Seismometers in New Zealand Schools initiative. For more information on 
this project, contact Ludmila Adam or Kasper van Wijk, or visit: 
http://www.env.auckland.ac.nz/people/m-adam


*Imaging the subsurface of the Auckland Volcanic Field *

The city of Auckland sits atop an active volcanic field. The details of 
the subsurface structure, however, are unknown. In this project, we aim 
to image the subsurface from ambient noise recorded on the permanent 
GEONET network of 3-component seismometers around the city. For more 
information on this project, contact Kasper van Wijk or visit 
https://www.physics.auckland.ac.nz/research/pal/2014/05/05/seismic-monitoring-the-auckland-volcanic-field/


*Getting inside the earthquake machine: fine-scale imaging of the Alpine 
Fault zone (partially funded throught the Royal Society of New Zealand)***

The Alpine Fault produces large earthquakes on average every 330 years, 
with its last rupture in 1717 AD. This project will provideinsight into 
fault zone architecture and examine how processes occurring within the 
fault zone control Alpine Fault earthquakes, by performing systematic 
measurements of the microstructure and geophysical rock properties with 
novel laboratory techniques. For more information on this project, 
contact Ludmila Adam or visit: http://www.env.auckland.ac.nz/people/m-adam


The University of Auckland provides PhD scholarships that cover tuition 
costs and provide a stipend of NZ$ 25,000 (tax free). 
https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/for/current-students/cs-scholarships-and-awards/cs-overview-of-scholarships/cs-scholarships-for-doctoral-students.html

These scholarships are competitive, where successful applicants have 
normally had a high GPA and have completed an undergraduate in 
geophysics, geology, physics or mathematics. Research experience (such 
as an MSc or Honours degree) is required to be accepted in the PhD 
program. The next application deadline for the scholarships is: August 
1^st , 2015. Interested applicants should contact Kasper van Wijk or 
Ludmila Adam to discuss the projects/application.
