<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><b>Vacancy for Research
Fellow - Seismologist at the UWI Seismic Research Centre:</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The UWI Seismic Research
Centre (SRC) was set up in 1953 and became part of The UWI in
1962. From its headquarters in Trinidad, it operates a network
of seismograph stations extending from Trinidad and Tobago
through the Lesser Antilles to St. Kitts. The SRC is responsible
for monitoring earthquake and volcanic activity in these 11
islands. Persons interested in this post are strongly advised to
visit our website at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.uwiseismic.com">http://www.uwiseismic.com</a> to learn more
about the operations of the SRC.<br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The main method of
day-to-day monitoring of these phenomena is the operation of
over 60 instruments that comprise a mixture of three-component
broadband seismograph stations, three-component short-period
seismometers, strong motion stations and single vertical
component stations. All three-component stations send their data
and those from associated single component stations, to Trinidad
using satellite and/or internet technology. Other monitoring
techniques in use include ground deformation measurement and
thermal and geochemical (gas and water chemistry) measurements.
The SRC has an active programme of research in the field of
geoscience aimed at complementing hazard awareness, risk
assessment and early warning.<br>
</span></p>
<span lang="EN-GB">The <b>Seismologist</b> will be expected to work
with a team of seismic analysts, earth scientists and engineers to
provide real-time earthquake and volcanic surveillance in the
Eastern Caribbean. He/She will be expected to develop a research
program, in collaboration with other staff members, with the
overall aim of improving the understanding of tectonic and
volcanic processes, as well as the hazards associated with the
regional geodynamic processes.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Further
