Stillingstittel:
PhD fellowship in Machine Learning and Geophysics with CGG and UiB

Stillingsbeskrivelse:

The recent availability of powerful GPUs and open source software have enabled artificial neural networks (ANNs) to be applied to a number of practical and industrial scale problems. In seismic data processing, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have the potential to be applied to many of the key processing steps (swell noise attenuation, seismic interference attenuation, deblending, deghosting etc.) which today involve significant testing time and computational power. Once trained, ANNs are computationally very light and potentially adaptable to varied datasets. Their use could therefore significantly save processing times and, in the long term, impact the whole business sector.

Research topics

The position is planned to address issues related to artificial intelligence and seismic data processing. Potential research topics for the PhD thesis include, but are not limited to the following:

• Application of various types of neural networks to problems encountered by seismic processing. Some example problems are:

• denoising

• deblending

• deghosting

• demultiple

• The ideal candidate will have expertise in the following areas:

Computer Science/Applied Mathematics:

• Machine Learning
• Artificial Neural Networks
• Good programming skills in languages like Python, MatLab, C++/C#/Fortran

Geophysics:

• Seismic data processing
• Signal processing

Admission requirements:

The candidate must hold a master's degree in Computer Science/Applied Math/Geophysics or a similar/related field and document competence in areas relevant to the position.

About the PhD position:

The fellowship will be for a period of 3 years.

6-12 months will be at the University in Bergen, Norway

24-30 months will be at the CGG office in Oslo, Norway.

Some traveling between Oslo and Bergen is expected.

The candidate will be employed by CGG in Oslo for the full 3 year period.

As a PhD candidate, you must participate in an approved educational program at UiB for a PhD degree within a period of 3 years. A final plan for the implementation of the research training must be approved by both NFR and the faculty within three months after you have commenced in the position. It is a condition that you satisfy the enrolment requirements for the PhD program at the University of Bergen.

We can offer:

A good and professionally challenging working environment both at UiB and CGG a competitive salary Good welfare benefits

Your application must include:

A brief account of the applicant's research interests and motivation for applying for the position. The names and contact information for two reference persons. One of these must be the main advisor for the master's thesis or equivalent thesis. Transcripts and diplomas showing completion of the bachelor's and master's degrees, or official confirmation that the master's thesis has been or is about to be submitted. Relevant certificates/references. A list of any works of a scientific nature (publication list.) Any publications in your name.
