Job Description
We are seeking motivated PhD candidates to join our research group at Dalhousie University (Halifax, Nova Scotia), home of Canada's National Facility for Seismological Investigations (NFSI). The NFSI has been rapidly accumulating ocean-bottom seismometer (OBS) data from the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic oceans around Canada, including recent deployments over the Baffin Bay Seismic Zone and Labrador Sea Seismic zone in Canada’s eastern Arctic.
The PhD Candidate Will On Work On The Canadian Arctic Data With a Team Including Partners From Deference Research And Development Canada (DRDC) And Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), Under One Or Both Of The Following Research Themes
- Earthquakes and Seismic Hazard – Investigating offshore seismicity, earthquake source processes, and their implications for seismic hazard.
- Seismic Tomography and Tectonic Structure – Imaging subsurface structures to understand regional tectonic evolution.
- Fully funded PhD position with competitive stipend and research support.
- Opportunities for fieldwork (OBS deployment/retrieval cruises) and conference travel.
- Flexible start date.
- Master’s degree in geophysics or a related field strongly preferred.
- Experience with earthquake seismology, seismic data analysis, signal processing, and/or numerical modeling.
- Strong writing and communication skills.
- Programming skills (Python, MATLAB, or similar).
- Enthusiastic, proactive, and enjoys working as part of a team.
- Willing and able to obtain Reliability Status to work with government partners.
