The newly formed Ocean Bottom Seismometer Instrument
Center (OBSIC) at WHOI provides seafloor seismographs and at-sea
technical support to the U.S. academic community in order to
advance knowledge about Earth structure and dynamic processes,
such as earthquakes and volcanism. The center replaces the Ocean
Bottom Seismograph Instrument Pool, which NSF created in 1999 and
that included WHOI and two other institutions. OBSIC has openings
for two full-time positions: Laboratory Manager and Data
Specialist. The scope of either of these positions may vary
depending on the qualifications of the new hires, but the minimum
responsibilities will include those described below.<br>
<br>
The Laboratory Manager will be responsible for maintaining
the OBSIC lab in a high state of operational readiness, the
coordination and planning of sea-going experiments, budget
management, and work scheduling. He/she will be responsible for
the surge training program of non-OBSIC technicians and management
of the trained surge personnel pool. The Laboratory Manager will
modernize the lab’s inventory and maintenance systems and
databases. She/he will attend biannual meetings of the OBSIC
Oversight Committee, UNOLS ship-scheduling meetings, and
participate in community outreach activities. The Laboratory
Manager will have a graduate degree in Engineering or Geophysics
and a minimum of 5 years of experience. He/she will sail on
occasional OBSIC cruises. <br>

<br>
The Data Specialist will be responsible for archiving all
data acquired through OBSIC at the IRIS Data Management Center.
He/she will carry out quality-assessment of both field data and
test data generated in-house. Data-quality assessment tasks
include both in-house analysis and review of MUSTANG data quality
control metrics generated at the IRIS DMC. These and other QA/QC
products will inform OBSIC operational decisions and provide the
OBSIC Oversight Committee with an independent assessment of
performance. The Data Specialist will be responsible for analysis
of sensor calibration measurements, and will maintain up-to-date
calibration information for all OBSIC instrumentation. She/he will
be the point person for all data-related queries from the OBS
community. The Data Specialist will have a graduate degree in
Geophysics and a minimum of 5 years of experience. He/she will
sail on occasional OBSIC cruises. <br>
