[iris-bulk] (Job) Research Seismologist - University of Oklahoma

[IRIS]

The University of Oklahoma invites applications for a position as a  
Research Seismologist in the Oklahoma Geological Survey (OGS) that is  
part of the Mewbourne College of Earth and Energy. The OGS operates a  
statewide seismic network that will be significantly upgraded as  
EarthScope’s USArray migrates across the state by “adopting” at least  
5 new broadband stations, and this position involves working with the  
existing staff at the OGS Geophysical Observatory to operate this  
network.  The OGS also conducts research on earthquakes and associated  
hazards in the Central U. S. as well as basic and applied research on  
the structure and evolution of the Central US. Through ties to the  
Mewbourne College of Earth and Energy, OGS geophysics staff are  
encouraged to collaborate with the ~10 geophysics faculty and  
researchers in the other units of the college as well as many students.

The ideal candidate would have a demonstrated research and publication  
record and an interest instrumental seismology and field studies. The  
Mewbourne College of Earth & Energy possesses extensive commercial  
software and computing labs that rival those found in independent oil  
companies. The college hosts two industrial consortia (one on seismic  
attributes, another in rock physics). The geophysics group in the  
College has active research efforts on several continents that are  
funded by NSF, industry, and foreign national institutes. The College  
maintains a pool of modern, near-surface exploration systems including  
GPR, seismic, magnetic, and gravity instruments as well as extensive  
rock physics characterization laboratories. Data analysis is conducted  
on modern PC and Linux platforms networked to our own Beowulf cluster  
and to the OU supercomputer center (OSCER). Through collaboration with  
industry, we have a suite of 3D seismic data volumes that are used for  
teaching, algorithm calibration, seismic geomorphological analysis,  
and crustal imaging. We also have a full range of open source software  
to analyze a variety of data for lithospheric-scale research, and a  
new faculty member arriving in the fall will be acquiring ~10 portable  
broad-band instruments in part through OGS support. Additional  
information about the College, its facilities and the entities that it  
houses can be found at http://cee.ou.edu. A Ph.D. degree is desired  
for this position, but exceptionally qualified M.S. candidates would  
be considered.  Salary and benefits will be competitive and  
commensurate with experience and future potential.


Review of candidates will begin May 1, 2009 and continue until the  
position is filled. The anticipated starting date is August 1, 2009.  
Applicants are requested to submit a complete vita/resume, statement  
of research interests, and a list of five references who can be  
contacted, including names, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and  
complete mailing addresses. Questions or requests for additional  
information may be addressed to G. Randy Keller at (405) 325-7968, or grkeller at ou.edu 
. Applications and nominations should be addressed to G. Randy Keller,  
University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma Geological Survey, 100 E. Boyd  
Street, Suite N131, Norman, OK. 73019-1008.
Interested applicants must have an OU application on file and can go  
to ou.edu/hr and fill out one on-line. https://jobs.ou.edu/applicants/jsp/shared/frameset/Frameset.jsp?time=1238602765275
