University of Utah Seismograph Stations: Postdoctoral Research  
Position in Seismology

The University of Utah Seismograph Stations (UUSS) invites  
applications for a full-time postdoctoral research position in  
seismology, available now until filled.   We seek a scientist with an  
interest in research topics that, at least in part, should utilize  
data collected in the Utah region by a modern regional/urban seismic  
network (currently augmented state-wide by Transportable Array  
stations of EarthScope’s USArray).  Information about UUSS and our  
seismic network, a regional element of the Advanced National Seismic  
System, can be found at http://seis.utah.edu/.  Possible areas of  
investigation include earthquake and seismicity studies, source  
analyses, local and regional structure, modeling and prediction of  
strong ground motion, studies of non-standard sources and  
discrimination, and methodologies relating to real-time seismology.  
In addition to research on these or other topics, the successful  
candidate will be expected to routinely participate, on a limited  
basis (approx. 10–12 hours per week), in day-to-day operations of the  
UUSS network, contributing to quality control, earthquake monitoring  
and reporting, and post-earthquake response.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Geophysics/Seismology at the time of  
appointment.  This position is initially for one year, with the  
possibility of extension depending on progress and the availability  
of funding.  Annual salary ($40,000 to $50,000) depending on  
experience, plus health and retirement benefits.  Applicants should  
submit a personal statement describing research experience and  
interests, a brief description of how he/she proposes to utilize  
seismological data being collected in the Utah region, a curriculum  
vita, and the names and contact information for three references to:

Dr. Kristine Pankow, Assistant Director
University of Utah Seismograph Stations
135 South 1460 East, Room 705
Salt Lake City, Utah 84112-0111

Electronic submissions are preferred.

The University of Utah is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity  
Employer.
