[iris-bulk] ISC: analyst position

[Dmitry Storchak]

  SEISMOLOGIST/ANALYST at the ISC

The International Seismological Centre (ISC) requires a full-time 
Seismologist / Analyst from Nov 15, 2010. Initially this post is for 2 
years with a six-month probation period and a strong possibility of 
extension. The ISC values its experienced personnel and always happy to 
retain qualified and dedicated staff.

The successful candidate will be expected to continue on a daily basis 
with one of the most important ISC duties – analysing the contents of 
the ISC Bulletin. Fulfilling these duties will involve review of 
automatic hypocentre solutions, reported source parameters and station 
picks for approximately 40,000 earthquakes and explosions per year 
recorded by a network of 5,000 seismic stations worldwide. Occasional 
communication with seismologists from one of the 120 institutions 
contributing data to the ISC is also part of the job. This is clearly 
not a research position although occasionally the ISC analysts are 
involved in investigating ways to improve the ISC operations and 
services to global seismological community.

A suitable candidate should have
- a degree in Geophysics or related fields
- experience in regional and global observational seismology, including 
waveform analysis
- dedicated meticulous attitude to data
- working knowledge of English and
- ability to work as part of a friendly international team.

Familiarity with LINUX as well as an understanding of other widely 
spoken languages would be an advantage. The successful candidate will be 
given appropriate training and guidance that often lasts in excess of 6 
months.

The starting salary will be approximately £25K per annum, consistent 
with UK Academic scales, with 6 weeks paid holiday. Overseas employees 
will be provided with assistance in initial travelling, establishing 
accommodation and obtaining a permit to work in UK if required.

To apply, please send your CV with an accent on the above requirements 
and the names and e-mail addresses of two referees to the ISC 
Administration Officer, Mrs Maureen Aspinwall, at admin at isc.ac.uk before 
Oct 1, 2010.
