Dear Colleagues The following may be of interest.
Regards Ken Witherly ------------ > Research position in geophysics at the Geological Survey of Norway (NGU) > A permanent researcher position is vacant with the Geological Survey of Norway, Section for Geophysics, starting immediately. Geophysical investigations at the NGU are carried out on two scales: (i) regional studies in Norway and overseas, over land and offshore, usually involving airborne and marine potential field methods, and (ii) detailed ground investigations in Norway utilizing a wide variety of geophysical methods. The NGU acquires, processes and interprets magnetic, gravity, electromagnetic and radiometric data for different projects and the successful candidate will be expected interpret and process some or all of these data types in a cross-disciplinary, team-oriented environment. The position requires a sound knowledge of geology to secure a balanced and complete geological interpretation of the geophysical data and to secure a good level of scientific communication with other team members. Work will focus on Norwegian territory; however, the Survey is actively involved in large international projects and periods of fieldwork overseas can be expected. > > We seek candidates with a university education in geophysics, or geology with strong geophysical training. In addition, experience in research, a doctorate degree, or experience from industry will be beneficial. We are especially interested in candidates with interpretation experience in regional tectonics, geodynamics, fault/fracture mapping and mineral exploration. We require a creative, result-oriented researcher who can initiate and lead research projects as well as function effectively in teams led by others. The successful candidate will be expected to participate in acquiring funding for projects from external sources. Researchers are encouraged to participate in the international scientific arena through the publication of scientific articles and maps, and to play an active role in designing and leading NGU projects. > > The NGU, based in Trondheim, is the central national institution for maintaining knowledge of the bedrock, mineral resources, surficial deposits and groundwater of mainland Norway and of the near-surface geology of the Norwegian continental shelf. The Survey tasks include geological, geophysical and geochemical mapping, development and maintenance of databases, research, information activities and advice to governmental bodies and industry. The NGU staff of 215 includes representatives of 16 nationalities and 60% of the staff are scientists. > > Letters of application for the vacancy should include a curriculum vita and the names of at least two professional referees. Applicants with a publication record are encouraged to include reprints of their recent work. > > Female scientists are encouraged to apply. The position carries a basic salary of NOK 351.700 - 479.700 per annum (c. 39.000 - 53.000 US$), dependant on documented qualifications and experience. > > For further information contact Section Leader for Geophysics Mark Smethurst, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or Director of the Earth Science Department Morten Smelror [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Applications may be sent by e-mail to ([EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) or mailed to Personalkontoret, Norges Geologiske Unders�kelse, 7491 Trondheim (Norway) by 01 August 2002. > > > > > > <<Announcement2002.doc>> > > > ************************************************* Norges geologiske unders�kelse Geological Survey of Norway Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ngu.no *************************************************
