[iris-bulk] (Job) Postdoctoral Research Seismologist - Hawaiian Volcano Observatory

[IRIS]

Postdoctoral fellow, Center for the Study of Active Volcanoes (CSAV),  
UH Hilo (HI, USA), one-year appointment, to begin May 1, 2010, with  
renewal dependent on performance and availability of funds. The  
incumbent will be based at the United States Geological Survey's  
Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO).

We seek a motivated individual to work with the HVO seismic group on a  
range of possible seismic/volcanic research projects that will  
integrate with and compliment ongoing HVO research topics and  
cataloging of seismic volcanic activity.  These include, but are not  
limited to, identifying and characterizing volcanic tremor sources,  
real-time quantification of station quality and network status,  
algorithms for real-time earthquake location, joint infrasound and  
seismic processing, and imaging techniques to constrain three- 
dimensional seismological structure using broadband and short-period  
seismic data.  HVO’s ongoing seismic network upgrades will provide the  
opportunity to assist in the design and installation of new seismic  
stations and communication networks that are critical for real-time  
seismic data monitoring.

Qualifications: Ph. D. in geophysics.  Experience with real-time  
seismic data processing systems, earthquake cataloging, digital signal  
processing, data visualization, or seismic imaging and tomographic  
techniques strongly desired.  Experience with field deployment of  
digital seismic networks and the ability to participate in field  
station visits (e.g., able to lift and carry batteries, equipment,  
etc.) is also desired.

The position offers a stipend of $5000/mo to qualified individuals.   
To apply: Please submit letter of application, resume, and  
documentation of status of Ph.D. degree along with names of three  
professional references to: Dr. Donald Thomas, CSAV, University of  
Hawai`i at Hilo, 200 W. Kawili St., Hilo, HI 96720-4096 (dthomas at soest.hawaii.edu 
).

For additional information please contact: Dr. Donald Thomas (dthomas at soest.hawaii.edu 
), Dr. James Kauahikaua (jimk at usgs.gov), or Dr. Paul Okubo (pokubo at usgs.gov 
).

This position announcement will remain open until filled.
