Open Until: 2022-12-01
Job Description:
We have an opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher to perform original and independent research to support Geophysical Monitoring Programs (GMP). You will develop and apply seismic full-waveform modeling methods to construct refined Earth models for improved nuclear explosion monitoring capabilities, including seismic source and wave propagation characterizations. You will also work within a talented group of scientists within the broader GMP team at LLNL and have access to world-class high-performance computer systems. This position is in the Seismology group within the Atmospheric, Earth, and Energy Division.
In this role you will:
Conduct independent research using seismic full-waveform inversion techniques and elastic wave propagation to construct advanced multi-resolution Earth models.
Implement software applications and methods on large high-performance computing platforms at LLNL.
Explore new software technology for improved Earth modeling and computational efficiency.
Work collaboratively within a multi-disciplinary team including geophysicists, seismologists, and computer scientists to accomplish research goals.
Interact with sponsors, customers, partners, and data providers including universities, U.S. government agencies, and other national laboratories.
Publish research results in peer-reviewed journals. Present work at conferences and other technical forums.
Perform other duties as assigned.
Qualifications:
Ability to secure and maintain a U.S. DOE Q-level security clearance which requires U.S. citizenship.
PhD in geophysics, earth sciences, or a related field.
Experience with seismic full-waveform inversion.
Experience with seismic data collection, archiving, and signal processing.
Experience with computer code development and deployment on high-performance computing platforms.
Ability to develop independent research projects and publish peer-reviewed articles.
Proficient verbal and written communication skills to collaborate effectively in a team environment and explain technical information.
Initiative and interpersonal skills and ability to work in a diverse, collaborative, multidisciplinary team environment.
Desired Qualifications:
Proficiency in multiple code languages including Java, Python, MATLAB, Fortran, and C++
Experience with parallel computing, including relevant programming languages.
Experience with Machine Learning technique development and implementation.
Experience in seismic moment tensor inversion.
