The research group of Bar Oryan in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Lehigh University (Bethlehem, PA) is seeking a graduate student to study earthquake and tectonic processes using numerical modeling, geodetic observations, and quantitative geomorphology.
Potential projects include:
- investigating the relationship between interseismic fault coupling and earthquake rupture,
- understanding earthquake-cycle behavior and fault mechanics using seismic-cycle simulations and neural networks, and
- using landscape inversion to understand long-term tectonic deformation.
Students with backgrounds in geophysics, geology, physics, computer science and related fields are encouraged to apply. Interested students should contact Bar at bar.oryan at lehigh.edu with a CV and a brief statement of research interests.
Students are also encouraged to join Lehigh EES’s virtual graduate recruitment event on October 28; register here.
