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. <br><br>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. <br><br>The SED offers an attractive working environment in Zurich, consistently rated among the cities with the best quality of life worldwide.
