response of planetary surfaces
The Department of Earth Sciences, In-
stitute of Geological Sciences, Planetary
Science and Remote Sensing at Freie
Universität Berlin
Current funding is available for up to
three years.
Vgr. IIa BAT (i.d.F.d. Anw.-TV FUB), full-
time positon
Description of Position:
The position is advertised in the context
of the High-Resolution Stereo Camera
(HRSC) experiment on Mars Express. It
will be part of the current efforts to gen-
erate a Mars-global photometrically cor-
rected high-resolution color-orthoimage
mosaic on the basis of data obtained
by the High Resolution Stereo Camera
(HRSC) onboard Mars Express. The
particular work for this position is dedi-
cated to the investigation of systemati-
cally applicable correction routines for
the conduct of large-scale image-mosa-
icking.
Specific Tasks:
* Evaluation of HRSC remote sensing
color-image data with respect to appli-
cable photometric corrections and as-
sessments of output results.
* Development of software algorithms
for systematically correcting color-ortho-
image data.
* Derivation of model parameters and
applicability to Mars surface analysis.
* Application in terms of generating pho-
tometrically corrected large-scale mosa-
ics. This will be supported by technical
staff.
Requirements:
Candidates must have a recent Univer-
sity degree in either Earth and planetary
sciences, physics, or related disciplines
and experience in numerical methods,
programming languages and must have
a sound understanding of spectral reflec-
tance theory and photometric response
of planetary surfaces.Very good knowl-
edge of English or German as working
languages in the research department.
In any case a good knowledge of Eng-
lish at the scientific- technical level is
mandatory. The Freie Universitat Berlin
is an equal opportunity employer.
Applications will be evaluated continu-
ously until the position is filled. Interest-
ed candidates should send their applica-
tion, including a CV, a short statement of
their research interests, and the name
and address of 2 referees, preferably by
e-mail (gerhard.neukum@fu-berlin.de
with cc to plansec@zedat.fu-berlin.de),
or by mail to:

Postdoctoral Investigator
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution,
The Geology & Geophysics Department
The Geology & Geophysics Department
is searching for a Postdoctoral Investi-
gator to join their team. The initial ap-
pointment will be full-time for at least 18
months and is eligible for benefits. There
is a possibility of an extension past the
18 month appointment.
Job summary:
The G&G Department invites applica-
tions for a Postdoctoral Investigator
position in earthquake mechanics. The
successful applicant will work a project
to develop 3D finite element subduction
fault models of earthquake cycles, and
constrain key model parameters with
available geodetic measurements, with
a focus in the Cascadia margin. These
models will explore a wide range of
problems in the subduction zone; extent
of megathrust ruptures, occurence of
episodic slow slip events and non-vol-
canic tremors, and effects of pore fluid
pressure.
Education desired:
A recent Ph.D. in Geophysics or a re-
lated discipline is required. Knowledge
of fault mechanics and experience in
earthquake rupture modeling is highly
preferred. Experience with finite element
modeling is encouraged.

Research Associate in the field of
Geodynamics and Geochemistry
School of Earth and Ocean Sciences,
Cardiff University
This project will model mantle convec-
tion in spherical geometry at Earth-like
vigour constrained by lithophile radio-
genic isotopes and noble gas isotopes.
This is a Natural Environment Research
Council funded project, with Dr Huw
Davies (Cardiff University) leading the
geodynamics aspects of the project with
co-Investigators Professor Tim Elliott
(University of Bristol) and Dr Don Por-
celli (University of Oxford) leading the
lithophile radiogenic isotopes and noble
gas isotopes aspects respectively. You
will have a PhD in Geophysics, Applied
Mathematics, Earth Sciences, Engi-
neering or similar field (or equivalent).
Evidence of ability to program in For-
tran or another scientific programming
language (e.g. C, C++) and evidence of
ability to understand geochemical and
geophysical processes and modelling,
(higher skill level in one skill can coun-
ter-balance weaker skill level in the oth-
er) is essential.
This post is fixed-term for 3 years. Sal-
ary: £29853 - £35646 per annum
Informal enquiries can be made to Dr J
Huw Davies, email: daviesjh2@cardiff.
