Position Overview

The Postdoctoral Fellow will join the Geophysics Area within the Research School of Earth Sciences (RSES). Based at the Australian National University’s charming Acton campus in Canberra, RSES is part of the ANU College of Science. Staff and students within the College conduct research and deliver research-led education programs that encompasses the entire breadth of the sciences, supported by extensive international networks and by world-class facilities. The College has a strong tradition of research excellence that has fostered distinguished Nobel Laureates and Kyoto Prize winners and that trains scientific leaders in disciplines in which the ANU is consistently ranked in the top twenty in the world.
