The Research Fellow will conduct research in Earth science or geophysics, likely involving geological or geophysical data analysis, field or laboratory investigations, scientific modelling, and preparation of research papers and reports. Applicants generally need a PhD in Earth science, geophysics, geology, environmental science, or a related discipline. Experience with geophysical methods, computational analysis, programming, laboratory equipment, or fieldwork is advantageous. The candidate is expected to work independently and collaboratively, manage research activities, present findings, publish in peer-reviewed journals, support grant-related work, and contribute to the broader objectives of the research group.
