The incumbent will be based at the United States Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO). <br><br>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. <br><br>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.<br><br>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 (<a href="mailto:dthomas@soest.hawaii.edu">dthomas@soest.hawaii.edu</a>). <br><br>For additional information please contact: Dr. Donald Thomas (<a href="mailto:dthomas@soest.hawaii.edu">dthomas@soest.hawaii.edu</a>), Dr. James Kauahikaua (<a href="mailto:jimk@usgs.gov">jimk@usgs.gov</a>), or Dr. Paul Okubo (<a href="mailto:pokubo@usgs.gov">pokubo@usgs.gov</a>). <br><br>This position announcement will remain open until filled.<div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
