Description du poste (en anglais)
In this call, IODP3 is seeking applications from active leading scientists from all IODP3 member nations to become the next SEP Co-Chair and lead the SEP-Site Subgroup. Applicants should have experience in a research field relevant to the geophysical characterisation of potential drill sites, but we particularly seek experts in the acquisition, processing and interpretation of marine seismic reflection data. Applications from women scientists are especially welcome.
The role of the SEP-Site Co-Chair requires substantial dedicated time. The successful candidate is expected to co-lead and attend two SEP meetings per year (usually held in March/April and September, with one meeting in-person and one entirely virtual). They are also required to attend meetings of the MSP-FB (usually held once per year in May/June), and may also contribute to the annual Scientific Drilling Forum (by either in-person or virtual attendance).
The appointee will be expected to become the incoming SEP-Site Co-Chair on 1 February 2026 to shadow the current Co-Chair, Prof Tim Reston, at his final SEP meeting (in Japan) in early April 2026 and final MSP-FB meeting (in an ECORD nation) in June 2026. They will then serve as the new SEP-Site Co-Chair for a three-year term (six SEP meetings) starting in late June 2026.
