[Switzerland] PhD in Seismology and Geodynamics at ETH Zurich

The Geophysics Institute at ETH-Zurich invites applications for two Ph.D. student positions in seismology and geodynamics. The successful candidates will study regional-scale seismic tomography, including its implications for geodynamics, applied to Europe and the mediterranean basin. This research project emphasizes application of innovative techniques in seismology, including finite-frequency (”banana-doughnut” ) tomography, and interferometric analysis of seismic ambient noise. Advisors will be Prof. Eduard Kissling and Dr. Lapo Boschi, in collaboration with Dr. Alberto Michelini (INGV Roma, Italy).

Our institute is a diverse environment emphasizing multidisciplinary interactions. A wide variety of graduate level courses in the Earth Sciences are oered. Please visit the Seismology and Geodynamics web page, at http://www.seg.ethz.ch/ or contact Dr. L. Boschi larryboschi@ gmail.com) for further information.
