**Āu Mahi | What You Will Do**
UC's School of Earth and Environment has an opportunity for a Postdoctoral Fellow to play a key role in the development of a probabilistic coseismic coastal deformation model for Aotearoa New Zealand. There are numerous examples of earthquakes in Aotearoa NZ and worldwide that have caused metre-scale coseismic subsidence or uplift of coastal areas. There is a high chance that during the next century there will be one or more MW > 7.0 earthquakes that affect the coastline of Aotearoa NZ. Such earthquakes have the potential to mitigate or (crucially) exacerbate the effects of climate-driven sea-level rise. To allow coastal communities to plan for the impacts of future earthquakes, it is essential to constrain probabilities of earthquake occurrence and the likely magnitude of deformation as far as possible. The importance of this work is therefore clear, but implementing it will be both challenging and rewarding — Aotearoa NZ is home to two subduction zones as well as ~900 crustal faults, many with rapid (>5 mm/yr) slip rates.
**Mōu | Who You Are**
To be successful in this position you will ideally have the following:
- a PhD in geophysics/geodesy, earthquake geology, coastal hazards or another related discipline or Masters degree for the Research Associate role.
- strong analytical/modelling skills using python or another programming language.
- a research background in earthquake-related hazard science, ideally including statistics and/or probabilistic seismic hazard analysis.
- a strong publication track record (relative to experience level) as well as experience with preparation and delivery of quality oral presentations to a wide range of audiences.
**Mahi Ngātahi | Who You Will Work With**
This postdoc is funded by the MBIE Endeavour programme "Te Ao Hurihuri, Te Ao Hou: Our Changing Coast". The successful applicant will play a key role in the vertical land movements research aim of the programme, which will involve working closely with Andy Howell at UC and several scientists at Te Pū Ao| GNS Science in Lower Hutt. The project lies at the intersection of several disciplines and will include collaborations with seismic hazard scientists (Chris Rollins and Matt Gerstenberger), coastal earthquake geologists (Kate Clark and Nicola Litchfield) and geodesists (Ian Hamling and Sigrún Hreinsdóttir).
There will also be an opportunity to participate in a "postdoc exchange" to collaborate with researchers working on a similar model for Cascadia at the University of Washington, USA.
