Missions

The recruited researcher will be in charge of developing, finalizing and publishing a detailed analysis of seismicity and seismic deformation in the Armorican Massif and Western France. He/she will have to perform a synthesis of the seismicity catalogs in moment magnitude, and then estimate the seismic moment rates and deformation rates associated with these catalogs. Finally, he/she will compare these results with the different regional indicators and models of deformation.

Activités

- Construction of seismicity catalogues in moment magnitude for the West of France.
- Seismic moment rate calculations and regional deformation rates.
- Comparisons of seismic deformation rates with geodetic data and numerical models developed for the region.
- Present and disseminate the research results (participation to conferences, redaction of a journal article).

Compétences

The candidate will have a PhD in seismology or geophysics.
- Detailed knowledge of seismicity catalogs
- Knowledge of lithosphere deformation mechanisms
- Good group work and inter-team communication skills
- Good analytical and synthesis skills
- Good ability to present one's work

Contexte de travail

The recruited researcher will work in the framework of the ANR EroSeis project "Long-term erosion as a catalyst for seismicity in an intraplate context". He/she will be involved in the "seismicity" group of this project. He/she will work in the seismology group of the Laboratory of Planetology and Geosciences (CNRS, Nantes University).
