The Department of Geophysics, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, Prague (Czech Republic), wishes to fill one full-time postdoc position in seismology, with a focus on advanced earthquake ground-motion modeling using kinematic and dynamic source models. The position is available from August 1st, 2024, and is for a one-year period with possible extensions of up to three years. Gross monthly salary (depending on previous eligible experience) starting at 50.000 CZK. In addition, progressive salary increases for successful project applications and significant publication bonuses will be granted. The candidate will join the seismological team of the department involved in Project OP JAK “Natural and anthropogenic georisks” no. CZ.02.01.01/00/22_008/0004605. We are looking for a person with a strong background in seismology with rich experience in earthquake ground motion modeling. The research will include the use of state-of-the-art kinematic and dynamic forward and inverse ground-motion modeling techniques, earthquake scenario modeling, validation against observed seismograms for selected events and empirical ground-motion models, earthquake scenario ground-motion predictions, and their statistical analyses. The results will be presented at conferences and published regularly in peer-reviewed journals. Please submit your application including the following list of information:
