[Geodynamics] 3 yr Post doctoral position in 2D and 3D geodynamic modelling of volcanic rifted margin formation

[Ritske Sipke Huismans]

Dear List members

The Department of Earth Science, University of Bergen has a 3 year postdoctoral position available that is part of the PALMAR project ‘Paleogene Basin Development on the Vøring and Møre Margins’ to work on 2D and 3D geodynamic modelling of volcanic rifted margin formation. I have appended a summary of the position below.

Further details, including application information, can be found at:
https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/hT6BCvl1rKiy9vxrYIQfvUQFSVl?domain=jobbnorge.no

Application deadline is 1st June 2025.

Please forward to anyone who might be interested and contact me for any further information.

Best regards,
Ritske Huismans


About the project/work tasks

The project will focus on understanding what controls the spatial and temporal variations in magmatic output during formation of the North Atlantic volcanic rifted margins using 2D and 3D numerical forward modelling, seismic data, and data obtained during IODP Expedition 396 “Mid Norwegian Margin Magmatism and Paleoclimate Implications”. The research will involve:

  *   2D modelling of volcanic margin formation to understand relative importance of margin structure, mantle composition, and mantle thermal anomalies on amount and distribution of magmatic addition.
  *   2D model geodynamic model prediction of composition of mantle melts and matching these with observed composition to constrain conditions of melting.
  *   3D modelling of margin formation linked to mantle melting to test how 3D margin structure controls melt distribution.
  *   Integration of observational constraints from the North Atlantic volcanic margins with forward 2D and 3D dynamic models of passive margin formation to understand sedimentary basin development, topographic evolution, and nature of the distal margin along volcanic margins.
  *   The project will involve collaboration with project partners at University of Oslo and University of Aarhus.



Qualifications and personal qualities:

  *   Applicants must hold a Norwegian PhD or an equivalent degree within Tectonics/Geodynamics or must have submitted his/her doctoral thesis for assessment prior to the application deadline. It is a condition of employment that the PhD has been awarded.
  *   Background and research interest in quantitative tectonic modelling and quantitative earth science is a requirement.
  *   Background and research interest in rifted passive margins and long-term tectonics is a requirement.
