3-year position for Postdoctoral Researcher at JAMSTEC (Japan)

This project aims to comprehensively understand granular behavior within multiscale processes, spanning from structural development in the seismogenic zone (accretionary prism) to earthquake occurrence via fault movement. This work employs a numerical rock box simulation model based on the discrete element method (DEM). We solicit a Project Researcher (II) or Postdoctoral Researcher to analyze data from DEM simulations, focusing on developing stress fields within granular bodies, excitation of elastic waves during fracture events, wave propagation, and conducting seismological interpretations of these phenomena.
Regarding the methodology, network analysis of stress chains and a tessellation-based method, currently under development by our team, may be used. However, the approach will be flexibly adjusted based on the applicant’s expertise and experience.

Deadline: 22/12/2024
