Do you love science but feel that a career at the bench isn’t enough to sate your desire to learn more about scientific research? Do you enjoy reading papers outside your chosen area of research?

Knowledge of seismology, tectonics, geodynamics, and natural hazards would be desirable as would interests in glaciology and geomorphology.
