Buenos días a todos,

Antes de nada disculpad si recibís este correo por diferentes listas de
distribución.

Un investigador ATRAE del ICM-CSIC, Thomas Bodin, conjuntamente con Pierre
Arraoucau de EDF (Francia) (ambos en copia), están buscando un candidato
para realizar la tesis doctoral sobre sismicidad histórica y ecuaciones de
predicción de intensidad. Adjunto descripción del proyecto de
investigación. Si conocéis a algún posible estudiante que le pueda
interesar, hacedle llegar la información.

*PhD Position at ICM-CSIC (Barcelona) in collaboration with EDF*

Bayesian Inversion of Seismic Intensities for Historical Earthquake Analysis
Studying large historical earthquakes is crucial for seismic hazard
assessment. Unlike instrumental events recorded by seismometers, historical
earthquakes occurred before the advent of such instruments. Their magnitude
and location must be inferred from macroseismic intensity data, such as
historical documents and damage reports.
To estimate these parameters, seismologists use Intensity Prediction
Equations (IPEs), which model ground shaking intensity as a function of
earthquake magnitude, distance, attenuation, and local site conditions.
However, IPEs must be regionally calibrated using instrumental data, and
poorly calibrated models lead to biased estimates of historical earthquakes.
This project aims to develop a Bayesian probabilistic approach to jointly
estimate earthquake
magnitudes, locations, and IPE parameters, integrating both historical and
instrumental data. Unlike traditional methods, this approach will account
for uncertainties more comprehensively, leading to improved historical
earthquake characterization. Ultimately, this research will contribute to
the development of a new seismicity catalog, which will be used to update
and improve seismic hazard models for metropolitan France.

*Candidate Profile*
The ideal candidate should have a strong background in geosciences or
computer science and be proficient in programming. Applications from women
are especially welcome. The candidate is expected to start on autumn 2025,
but the starting date can be adjusted.

*Supervision & Collaboration*
The PhD will be supervised by Thomas Bodin (ICM-CSIC, Barcelona) in
collaboration with Pierre Arroucau (EDF) and the SIGMA3 research program.
The student will participate in scientific meetings and contribute to
developing algorithms for French seismic databases.
