Volcano Seismologist, USGS The USGS Volcano Hazards Team seeks a volcano seismologist to join its Volcano Disaster Assistance Program (VDAP). VDAP is a partnership program with USAID's Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance, which provides technical assistance in volcano monitoring science and technology to developing countries world-wide through crisis response, capacity building, and training. We seek an individual with a desire to contribute to the welfare of others by enhancing VDAP's program of international cooperation in volcano hazard mitigation. The successful candidate will conduct remote and on-site monitoring of volcanic seismicity, consult with and train foreign counterparts, install seismic networks, and conduct research in eruption forecasting. The position provides an opportunity to interpret seismicity that precedes and accompanies eruptions in varied geologic and tectonic settings, and thereby to advance understanding of the origin of volcanic earthquakes. Investigations are designed to foster partnerships with international scientists, and with sensitivity to the publication and policy needs of colleagues and co-authors in other countries. Qualifications are listed at http://www.opm.gov/qualifications/SEC-IV/B/GS1300/1313.HTM , and include experience in seismology and seismic monitoring, authorship of scientific publications, and contributions that have advanced the field of volcano seismology.

Closing date for application is 24 March 2008. Research position in geodesy available at the French National Geographic Institute Background The Laboratoire de Recherche en Geodesy (LAREG) has the responsibility at the international level of the definition, execution and long-term maintenance of the International Terrestrial Reference System (ITRS). This responsibility is part of the contribution of the National Geographical Institute to the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS). Instantiation of the ITRS, called ITRF (International Terrestrial Reference Frame, see http://itrf.ensg.ign.fr). Long term stability of ITRF at a millimeter accuracy level is a prerequisite for the observation of slow geophysical phenomena, which relies on comparing geodetic positions for years or even decades away. In this context, the laboratory has carried out several projects based on
analyzing and accumulating time series of positions as well as Earth orientation
parameters. The analysis of these time series reveals seasonal variations that
may reflect both systematic errors of space geodesy techniques and geophysical
phenomena. We are interested in the study of the movement of the gravity center
of the Earth and all types of large-scale deformation (earthquakes, atmospheric,
oceanic and hydrological overloads), either to improve knowledge of these movements
and deformations, and understand artifacts, or to validate space geodesy findings
(based on comparing of measurement techniques and geophysical modeling). This
research, as well as the recent publication of ITRF2005, has pointed out the
need to develop a focused research on the accuracy of the reference system
(in particular its origin and its scale) and understand the movement and deformation
that can pack his determination. Research position The ‘chargé de recherche’ works within the ‘reference system’ team, in close collaboration with other laboratory experts specialized in reference systems, space geodesy, and processing of GNSS and LASER observations. He is expected to cooperate closely partners laboratories specialized in geophysics. His research will revolve around the theory of estimation. He will devise new approaches as for the modeling of non-secular movements, their inclusion in the estimate of the error of determining the gravity center and scale of reference, and will study the contribution of non linear estimation methods (e.g., genetic algorithms). He will address various issues as for modeling the movement and distortion of the Earth, in partnership with other teams in the fields of Geodesy and Geophysics (in France and abroad). He will focus on analyzing and quantifying the causes. His contribution in these areas is primarily geodetic, experts in geophysics will take advantage of his results to confirm or refute theories on the origin and nature of the movements. This research activity entails the use of a range of scientific software packages designed for processing geodetic data. Research may include developing additions to these software packages. Taking part in international working groups is also to be considered a plain
part of this position. Knowledge and Skills 1 / The successful candidate will have a good knowledge of estimation theory, at least in the field of linear estimation (least squares, inverse problems, estimator accuracy). 2 / He will have a working knowledge of Geodesy; a research experience involving space geodesy data processing will be a plus 3 / The successful candidate will master analysis and numerical calculations,
and the most common geodetic software packages. Applications Applications are online and must be submitted before April 4, 2008: http://www2.equipement.gouv.fr/recrutement/index_inscriptions.htm after submitting your file, you will be invited to take part in a competitive exam. Oral exam sessions will be held after June 9, 2008.
