Faculty and students in the Seismology and Geodesy research group spend the bulk of their time at the Geophysical Institute, although all are affiliated with the UAF Department of Geology & Geophysics. Graduate students benefit from the academic structure of the department, combined with the research freedom the Geophysical Institute affords.

Opportunities for Prospective Graduate and Postdoctoral Students

Student assistantships are available each year with the Seismology and Geodesy research group. Students interested in applying the computational tools of geophysics to issues in tectonics, earthquakes and volcanoes in Alaska and abroad are sought. Research assistantships provide tuition waivers and competitive stipends, as well as travel to conferences and fieldwork. Because of the unique experiences available in earthquake and volcano studies in Alaska, our program is quite competitive.
