As part of an initiative to expand work in Deep Earth Sounding, the 
Research School of Earth Sciences seeks to make two appointments 
within the Earth Physics Group.

(a)	An observationally oriented seismologist to strengthen and 
complement current activities in seismology that exploit Australia's 
unique position in relation to regional and world seismicity with the 
goal of understanding Earth structure and dynamics.  Applicants will 
be expected to have established a strong research profile in the 
analysis of seismological observations. Experience in seismological 
field work would be an advantage.

(b)	A seismologist to undertake innovative studies of the integration 
of passive and active seismological techniques in the context of crustal 
and upper mantle structure, with the goal of improving understanding of 
crustal structure and crust-mantle coupling.
 
The level of appointment will depend on the experience of the applicants.

The School hosts the Australian National Seismic Imaging Resource (ANSIR) 
Major National Research Facility, with 40 portable broad-band, 120 short 
period systems, 4 vibrators and a 300 channel reflection system available 
for competitive access.  A 24 element seismic array (WRA) is operated at 
Warramunga in the Northern Territory, together with two broad-band 
stations (WRAB) and CAN near Canberra as a contribution to global 
seismology.

The successful applicants will be expected to take a major role in the 
development of the program in seismology, to take responsibility for 
appropriate data management, supervise graduate students and contribute 
to the School's graduate teaching program.  An active program of external 
fund raising is expected.
