The University of Alaska Fairbanks campus has approximately 6,000  
students, and is located in Fairbanks. With a local population of more  
than 80,000, Fairbanks offers the sophistication of medium-sized  
cities while maintaining the atmosphere of smaller, more personal  
towns. The Geophysical Institute is one of several research institutes  
on campus which employs about 50 faculty with expertise in everything  
from Space Physics to Tectonics. Within the Geophysical Institute, the  
Alaska Earthquake Information Center (AEIC) records nearly 500 seismic  
stations located throughout the region, and locates up to 20,000  
earthquakes in Alaska each year. The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO)  
is another major program within the Geophysical Institute and the  
Arctic Region Super Computer Center (ARSC) is located nearby. These  
diverse intellectual and data resources offer many opportunities for  
collaboration within and between disciplines. The University of Alaska  
Fairbanks is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
