We are thrilled to announce an open fully funded PhD position focusing on seismic attenuation, a critical parameter for understanding the physical properties of the Earth’s crust, especially in tectonically active regions. This research will delve into the Q factor, providing valuable insights into subsurface structure, fluid content, and thermal state, using microseimic events.

We are looking for a highly motivated individual with a strong background in geophysics, seismology, or a related field, along with excellent English communication skills. Experience in data analysis, numerical programming, machine learning, and microseismic monitoring will be advantageous.

Interested candidates are encouraged to apply by 10-04-2025. Please submit your CV, cover letter to Dr. Fateh Bouchaala (fateh.bouchaala@ku.ac.ae) or Dr. Tadahiro Kishida (tadahiro.kishida@ku.ac.ae).
