Job announcement: Senior Seismologist at Fervo Energy
|
Fervo Energy, a leader in next-generation geothermal energy solutions, is seeking a Senior Seismologist to design and lead seismic monitoring campaigns for Enhanced Geothermal operations. The role involves innovating workflows for real-time microseismic processing using fiber-optic Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) while analyzing seismic data to assess and mitigate induced seismicity risks. Key responsibilities include extracting earthquake source parameters, designing algorithms for real-time seismic hazard assessment, and integrating seismic insights into rupture modeling.
|
The ideal candidate will have advanced proficiency in seismic data processing (Python), earthquake source analysis, and DAS-based characterization techniques, along with expertise in applying Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical-Chemical (THMC) models. Applicants should possess a Master’s or Ph.D. in Geophysics, Seismology, or related fields. Preferred qualifications include experience with machine learning applications in seismology and high-performance computing.
|
|
This position offers the opportunity to collaborate with national labs and academic institutions while driving innovation at the forefront of geothermal energy development. Join our multidisciplinary team and contribute to creating 24/7 carbon-free energy!
|
About Fervo Energy Fervo Energy is redefining geothermal energy, leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as horizontal drilling, advanced computational models, and distributed fiber-optic sensing to make geothermal cost-competitive. We are backed by leading investors and industry partners, and our fast-paced, collaborative culture drives us toward building sustainable energy solutions that last.

Open Associate Telecommunications Engineer position
|
Are you passionate about telecommunications and seismic safety? The Department of Conservation (DOC) is seeking skilled professionals to join the California Strong Motion Instrumentation Program (CSMIP) as Associate Telecommunications Engineers. This role offers an exciting opportunity to design, install, and maintain statewide telecommunications systems for seismic stations, playing a critical part in public safety and disaster preparedness.
|
Under the guidance of the Senior Telecommunications Engineer, you'll provide technical expertise on telecommunications methods and systems, including telephone, mobile, data, microwave radio, and satellite technologies. Your contributions will support the CSMIP Field Operations team, ensuring the reliability and efficiency of telecommunications systems used for seismic data collection and analysis.
|
Eligibility and Application Information Candidates must meet the minimum qualifications for this classification, and relevant work experience must be thoroughly detailed on the STD. 678 application form. Transcripts are required if using education to qualify. Applications referencing "see resume" or similar will not be considered. This position is based in Sacramento, requires daily in-office attendance, and is contingent upon budget approval.
|
Join a team dedicated to California’s safety, environment, and economy. Apply now and help make an impact! For more details, please visit the Department of Conservation's website: http://www.conservation.ca.gov.

SRL Call for Papers: Intraplate Earthquakes
|
More than a half century after plate tectonics provided an overarching framework to explain earthquakes along active plate boundaries, numerous theories have been proposed to explain where, why, and how often earthquakes occur well away from active plate boundaries, but a paradigm remains elusive. Even the classification of earthquakes away from active plate boundaries as "intraplate" raises issues, with potentially important distinctions between Stable Continental Regions and more actively deforming regions.
|
We invite submissions from all disciplines that focus on topics including investigations of notable intraplate earthquakes, the seismotectonics of intraplate regions, neotectonic fault studies, seismic source characterization, intraplate ground motion datasets and models,and the translation of intraplate seismic hazard assessments into public policy and risk reduction.
|
|
Deadline for Submission: 15 September 2025
|
Articles accepted to this SRL Focus Section on Earthquake-Induced Ground Deformation will be published online soon after acceptance and collectively in print in the March 2026 issue. Papers will be reviewed as they are received and published online prior to the print issue.
