Research Associate in Volcano Deformation Modelling

What will you be doing?

• Apply systematic modelling approaches to a global database of InSAR datacubes at volcanoes to build a systematic catalogue of source parameters, ensuring the results are consistent with other geophysical and petrological constraints on magmatic systems.
• Collaborate with the processing team to integrate modelling with the high-resolution workflow and provide feedback on the dataset development.
• Analyse the database using statistical and physics-based approaches to explore the implications for volcano monitoring and the behaviour of magmatic systems.  

You should apply if

• You have experience with systematic approaches to InSAR modelling at a regional or global scale.
• You have experience developing quality control approaches for large datasets of automatically processed InSAR data.
• You have a strong background in volcanology and are able to interpret volcano deformation signals in the context of wider geophysical and petrological constraints.
