Summary of position and project: 

The Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Geneva is welcoming applications for a seismology/geophysics postdoctoral researcher for an appointment of 2 yearsto develop passive seismic imaging methods applied to geothermal exploration. The research will be part of theHorizon Europeproject GeoHEAT (EU call HORIZON-CL5-2023-D3-02), which aims to develop an innovative integrated multi-scalelow-cost exploration workflow, from the regional to borehole scales. The postdoc will be hosted at the University of Geneva in agroup of applied geophysicistsworking on various projects leveraging passive seismic and geoelectrical methods for subsurface characterization in volcanic and geothermal settings (Group of Crustal Deformation and Fluid Flow ). The successful candidate will also work closely with Dr. Claudia Finger of Fraunhofer IEG and Dr. Katrin Löer of TU Delft and be part of the broaderGeoHEAT consortium,composed of 11 EU and Swiss academic and industry institutions.In particular, the successful candidatewill involved inGeoHEAT’sWork Package 2 that aims to develop an innovative reservoir-scale exploration workflow, combining low-cost passive geophysics (ambient noise tomography and microgravity) along with outcrop mapping observations to identifyoptimal drilling sites inside a probabilistic modeling framework.The salary and benefits will be in accordance with the regulations at the University of Geneva.
