Job Opportunities for the 2nd round of Open Recruitment 2024 - Closed at 23:59 on 10 October 2024 (JST)

Entry ID GSJ-11	Title	Research on evaluation of long-term geologic fracturing and volcanic fluid migration
	Job Summary and Essential/Desirable Skills and Experience	To evaluate the environmental dynamics from deep underground to the surface over geological time scales spanning hundreds of thousands of years, this research focuses on the process of cracking in the deep underground, the upwelling and migration of deep and volcanic fluids, and the safety assessment of their impact on rock formations, by using outcrops, core samples, and seismic data. We seek candidates with advanced knowledge in Geology, Geophysics, or Geochemistry, as well as field work skills, who are eager to tackle the challenges associated with these research topics. The candidates are expected high communication ability and are motivated to implement research results in society and actively interact with many researchers. We also welcome those who do not have a doctoral degree but who are motivated to utilize their practical experience at a company for the social implementation of AIST's R&D.
