[iris-bulk] Engineering position opening at the Cascades Volcano Observatory

[Seth C Moran]

The USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory (located in Vancouver, Washington 
(USA)) is seeking to fill a field engineer position at the GS 11/12 level. 
The primary purpose of this position is to provide expertise and support 
for the data-telemetered monitoring programs at Cascades volcanoes and at 
foreign volcanoes. Duties include: installing, maintaining, and designing 
infrastructure for seismic and other geophysical instruments needed for 
monitoring volcanoes in the Cascades and at foreign sites; and 
establishing and maintaining radio (analog and digital), microwave, 
satellite, and internet-based telemetry systems. The incumbent will need 
to be comfortable working in remote and often harsh conditions that are 
typically found in volcanic environments, and should anticipate being on 
travel status roughly 20% of the time. Applicants with experience in 
installing and maintaining networks of geophysical instruments in remote 
environments with associated analog and digital telemetry systems for 
transmitting data to processing centers in real-time are particularly 
encouraged to apply.
For more information and/or to apply for this position go to 
http://www.usajobs.opm.gov/ or http://www.usgs.gov/ohr/oars/ and search 
for job number WR-2008-0025. This is a 13-month term position, with 
possible extensions of up to a total of 4 years without further 
competition. You must be a U.S. citizen to be eligible for this position.
