We are seeking a highly motivated Early Stage Researcher (PhD student) to join the project Seismic full-waveform inversion with application to groundwater exploration", funded by the Academy of Finland. This project aims to utilize computational modeling and actual imaging data to characterize fluid content stored in a porous material. The project consists of both the development of mathematical modeling and designing and building laboratory scale measurement systems. Thus, prior experience and knowledge from wave propagation modeling and/or related inverse problems and/or engineering design of practical measurements are required.

A person to be appointed to this position will work in the Computational Physics and Inverse Problems research group (see, http://www.uef.fi/inverse, for more details). The group is affiliated with the Centre of Excellence of Inverse Modeling and Imaging (Academy of Finland). In addition, studies will be done under a cotutelle (double-degree) agreement between the above-mentioned unit and the Centre for ECO2 Vehicle Design (at the Department of Aeronautical and Vehicle Engineering in KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden) and therefore will require periods also in Stockholm, Sweden. See, https://www.eco2vehicledesign.kth.se/strategy, for more details.

A person to be appointed as an early stage researcher shall be qualified to pursue postgraduate studies, i.e. he or she is required to have completed a suitable higher university degree or an equivalent education abroad, which in the country in question would qualify the person for similar academic studies (UEF University Regulations, Section 31). Examples of suitable higher university degrees for the candidate are in physics, engineering, computer science or applied mathematics.

English will be used as the language of instruction and supervision in this position.

The position will be filled for four years from 1 January 2020, or as agreed. Positions of Early Stage Researchers shall always be filled for a fixed term (UEF University Regulations, Section 31).

The salary of the position is determined in accordance with the salary system of Finnish universities and is based on level 2-4 of the job requirement level chart for teaching and research staff (€2,033.29 - €2,535.20/ month). In addition to the job requirement component, the salary includes a personal performance component, which may be a maximum of 50.0% of the job requirement component.
