Description du poste

Organisation/Company: CNRS

Department: Institut des sciences de la Terre

Research Field: Geosciences, Astronomy, Environmental Science

Researcher Profile: First Stage Researcher (R1)

Country: France

Application Deadline: 9 Jun 2025 - 23:59 (UTC)

Type of Contract: Temporary

Job Status: Full-time

Hours Per Week: 35

Offer Starting Date: 1 Oct 2025

Funding: Not funded through the EU Research Framework Programme

Research Infrastructure: No

Offer Description

The Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) is a leading global research institution exploring life, matter, the Universe, and human society. The thesis will be conducted within ISTerre, a joint research unit affiliated with Université Grenoble Alpes, CNRS, USMB, IRD, and Université Gustave Eiffel, located in Saint-Martin d'Hères and on the Bourget du Lac Science Campus. It focuses on studying the physics and chemistry of Earth, with activities including observation, experimentation, modeling, and hosting geophysical instruments.

The doctoral work will be in the "Seismic Cycle and Transient Deformations Team," comprising 42 members. The project is funded by an ANR consortium involving various geoscience and physics laboratories, with international collaborations, especially with Japanese researchers, to enhance data analysis and numerical simulations. Funding covers participation in conferences, workshops, and publication fees.

Benefits include 45 days of annual vacation, access to an inter-company restaurant, public transport reimbursement, mutual participation, telecommuting options, cultural and sporting activities, and sports facilities.

Research Focus

This PhD aims to analyze long-term microseismicity related to crustal earthquakes in Japan, focusing on the Kumamoto (2016) and Noto (2024) events, both preceded by foreshocks. The work involves using seismic catalogs, GNSS data for slow deformation detection, and applying Machine Learning techniques to improve event detection. The goal is to understand pre-seismic phases and the role of transient stresses in earthquake physics.

Candidate Skills and Qualifications

• Master's degree in Geophysics or Physics
• Strong skills in mathematics, physics, signal processing, and programming (Python, Matlab)
• Ability to handle and process data
• Initiative, adaptability, independence, teamwork
• Good communication skills in English

Interested candidates should submit a project-specific cover letter and CV.
