100%, Zurich, fixed-termResearch in the Structural Geology and Tectonics group focuses on the rapidly deforming zones that define Earth’s tectonic plate boundaries and generate many of the planet’s geohazards. We are interested in the rates and directions in which faults and shear zones move; their geometries, widths and mechanical behaviours at depth; and the processes that shape them over geologic time. Project backgroundProject: The Rheology of Metasedimentary Rocks Job descriptionThe successful candidate will be primary supervised by Dr. Leif Tokle and will involve collaboration with Dr. Claudio Madonna and Prof. Dr. Whitney Behr.
