[iris-bulk] (Job) Three seismology research positions at ETH-Zurich

[IRIS]

The Swiss Seismological Service (SED; www.seismo.ethz.ch) at ETH  
Zürich is expanding its interdisciplinary center on seismic hazard  
modeling and invites applications for three research seismologists at  
a junior or senior level.

The successful candidates will join an international team focused on  
creating a state-of-the-art seismic hazard and risk modeling and  
validation environment, including input data, hazard computational  
infrastructure, model validation, and distribution.  The positions  
will be associated with the new Global Earthquake Model (GEM) and  
Seismic Hazard Harmonization in Europe (SHARE) efforts. GEM is the  
public-private partnership initiated by the OECD to build an  
independent standard for calculating and communicating earthquake risk  
worldwide. SHARE is an EC-funded project to harmonize hazard products  
and zonations for engineering applications.

Candidates must have a PhD in geophysics, earthquake engineering, or a  
related field and a proven record of excellence in conducting research  
in a team environment. Expertise in one or more of the following areas  
is highly desirable: regional seismic networks and catalogs, seismic  
rupture and/or ground motion modeling, probabilistic hazard or risk  
modeling, statistical model validation, computational geophysics, and  
insurance/reinsurance industry standards and practices. Successful  
senior candidates may participate in undergraduate and graduate level  
teaching at ETH. English and German are working languages in the  
research groups. The selection process starts immediately and will  
continue until all positions are filled. The positions will be granted  
for a minimum duration of two years, with the possibility of  
extension, and may be filled at part or full time.

The SED offers an attractive working environment in Zurich,  
consistently rated among the cities with the best quality of life  
worldwide. SED provides good opportunities for personal and  
professional development, a competitive salary depending on experience  
and performance, and an excellent benefits package.

For more detailed information, please contact Dr. Greg Anderson +41 44  
633 24 80 or Prof. Domenico Giardini +41 44 633 26 10.

Please apply online at www.jobs.ethz.ch including a cover letter, your  
CV, a brief statement of research interests, and the names and contact  
information of two references. In cases of technical problems  
regarding the application process, please send your written  
application by paper with the keyword HAWI 762 to Mr. Hans-Peter  
Widmer, Human Resources, P.O. Box, 8092 Zürich.
