The successful candidates will work in substantially interdisciplinary environment in close cooperation between each other, other Section researchers, geochemical partners of the ERC Project and with researchers of the Surface Processes Modeling Section in GFZ. The formal starting date is July 1-st, but starting at the end of this year or beginning of the 2021 would be also fine. Positions are first for 3 years with possible extension till the end of the project in year 2026. Below is the short description of the Project and positions and corresponding links. Please pass this message to those who may be interested. Many thanks. Best regards and stay healthy! Stephan ----------- The ERC Synergy Grant Project MEET (Monitoring of Earth Evolution through Time) teem based at Section of Geodynamic Modeling at GFZ Potsdam is opening two modeling postdoc positions for 3 years with possible extension to the end of the project in 2026. An ERC (European Research Council) Synergy Grant is the top prestigious research grant in Europe. Grant winner of 2019 Project MEET combines innovative geochemical and petrological studies of evolution of chemical composition of Earth?s crust and mantle from 4.4 billion years ago to present and physics-based geodynamic modeling of Earth?s deep and with surface processes. *Postdoc Position 1. Modeling of Early Earth Dynamics.* Details and application at:link2 *Postdoc Position 2. Modeling of Interplay of Deep and Surface processes in Plate Tectonics.* Details and application at:link1 In addition to the advanced geodynamic modeling we will establish cutting-edge routines linking physical processes to geochemical parameters, in cooperation with the geochemical groups of MEET Project in Grenoble (France) and in Madison (USA). We particularly welcome applications of modelers having substantial experience working with ASPECT, StagYY and UNDERWORLD codes. -- ************************************************************ Stephan V.

The workshop will bring together the international observational, experimental, and computational lithospheric dynamics community to virtually engage in focused cross-disciplinary discussion on ?Ductile Shear Zones and Localization Processes?. The meeting introductory session will cover current challenges and open questions in distinct domains of the lithosphere, current cross-disciplinary community efforts, and an introduction to the meeting?s scientific focus. Keynote lectures and panel discussions are planned in three topical sessions: ?Localization in the lithosphere?, ?Evolution and transient behavior of lithospheric shear zones?, and ?How to make a plate - from microphysical and chemical processes to geodynamic scenarios?. The final session will focus on long-term strategic planning for the lithosphere dynamics community and CIG IV, including future directions in modeling and existing geologic data sets that can be integrated into robust statistical comparisons between modeled and observed data. Given the virtual nature of the meeting and the wide range of time zones for the participants, formal daily sessions will be limited to 2-3 hours each day and will be held in the morning within the Pacific Time zone. Additional ?open? break-out sessions and virtual ?coffee breaks? will be available before and after the formal sessions for further discussion and community engagement. Registration for the event is now open through June 30 at https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/n9GNC71R2NTQZk1Yu8GU7G?domain=geodynamics.org. No registration fee is required, but the number of participants will be limited to 100. For additional information, please visit the meeting website at https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/vQBgC81V0PTzYRpgC1iWJP?domain=geodynamics.org or contact us at events at geodynamics.org Registration Opens: March 20, 2020 Registration Closes: June 30, 2020 Last, we would also like to direct your attention toward the CIG 2020 Virtual Tectonics Modeling Tutorial, which will be held the week prior to this meeting (July 20-24).
