Research Position in Seismology at ETH Zurich, Switzerland

The Swiss Seismological Service at ETH Zurich (www.seismo.ethz.ch) is  
soliciting applications for the position of research seismologist at  
a junior or senior level, with focus on studying induced seismicity.   
The objective is to study the mechanisms of induced seismicity  
related to geothermal field development and operation, in particular  
enhanced geothermal systems such as the currently ongoing Deep Heat  
Mining project in Basel. We are looking for a person interested in  
all seismological aspects of the creation and sustainable use of  
Enhanced Geothermal Systems, including basic research needs,  
monitoring and regulatory aspects.

Candidates must have a PhD in geophysics or a related field,  
expertise in practical and theoretical aspects of seismology and a  
proven record of excellence in conducting research. Expertise in one  
or several of the following domains is highly desirable: Monitoring  
and analysis of induced seismicity, earthquake location,  
probabilistic hazard and risk analysis, numerical modeling of fluid  
propagation and fluid-rock-seismicity interaction. The successful  
candidate will be expected to coordinate a growing research program  
at ETH, involving several researchers at ETH and with strong ties to  
other national and international partner institutions.  He or she  
will participate in undergraduate and graduate level teaching at ETH  
and operational work at the Swiss Seismological Service, and  
supervise Master and PhD theses. English and German are working  
languages in the research groups.

For more detailed information, please contact Prof. D. Giardini, Dr.  
N. Deichmann or Dr. S. Wiemer. The selection process starts  
immediately, and will continue until the position is filled.  The  
position is expected to have a minimum duration of 3 years, extension  
is a possibility. ETH offers a competitive salary, depending on  
experience and performance, as well as an excellent benefits package.

To apply, please e-mail your CV, a brief statement of research  
interests and the names and addresses of two references to  
application at sed.ethz.ch.
