The Seismology and Gravimetry Department (SGD) of the Royal Observatory of Belgium (ROB) and the Unit of Physical Geography and Quaternary (UGPQ) of the University of Liege (ULiege) are recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the research profile ÒPrf-078 FAULTCOLLAB Ŵ Earthquake geology and tectonic geomorphology of active faults in intraplate contextÓ.
Earthquake geology and paleoseismology is a research topic which has been developed over the past two decades at ROB, involving identifying active faults and folds, analyzing coseismic deformation of sediments in the shallow subsurface, and determining the size and timing of past large earthquakes. Tectonic geomorphology, a strong research topic at UGPQ, investigates and maps the expression of active tectonic deformation in the landscape in order to quantify the amount and rate of deformation. Taking advantage of the know-how of both research groups, the FED-tWIN researcher will ensure the continued development of active tectonic studies in Belgium, with the objective of expanding our knowledge of active faults and the link between surface deformation and past large earthquakes in intraplate Europe.
Applications have to be sent to Dr. K. Vanneste (
