Postdoctoral Researcher Position in Geophysics & Geomechanics, University of Oklahoma
|
The University of Oklahoma (OU) seeks a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the School of Geosciences in the Mewbourne College of Earth and Energy in 2025. This position will primarily support an NSF-funded project to study earthquake swarms and crustal deformation in volcanic, geothermal, and anthropogenic settings. The Postdoctoral Researcher will work with Dr. Junle Jiang to analyze geophysical data, develop modeling tools, interpret the results, co-mentor students, and communicate the results in conferences and publications. The researcher will focus on (1) high-resolution seismic/geodetic imaging and/or (2) multi-scale computational modeling of faults and earthquake source processes, with applications to selected regions in California, Hawaii, and Oklahoma. The team will collaborate with researchers at Texas A&M University, USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, and the Geological Survey of Japan. This full-time, benefits-eligible position is initially available for one year, with the possibility of a second-year renewal based on satisfactory performance. A hybrid work schedule may be considered if warranted.
|
- Ph.D. in geophysics, geomechanics, or other relevant fields, completed before the position’s start date.
- Demonstrated experience with data analytics and/or computational modeling.
- Strong programming skills in languages such as Python, MATLAB, etc.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a diverse team environment.
- Strong writing, organization, and interpersonal communication skills.
- Publication record in peer-reviewed journals is highly desirable.

Application Instructions:
|
Applicants are invited to submit (1) a cover letter (no more than two pages), (2) a current C.V., and (3) contact information for three references to jiang@ou.edu. The cover letter should describe your motivation, research interest, experience, qualifications, and career goals. Additional materials may be requested at a later date. Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2024; the position will remain open until filled. The preferred start date is early or mid-2025. If you have questions about the position, please contact Dr. Junle Jiang (jiang@ou.edu).

Call for Contribution: Legacy Subduction Zone Time Series Data
|
We are excited to announce SZNet’s second virtual workshop that will address unarchived digital data that could benefit from public, open access. For the purpose of this workshop, the focus will be on time series data relevant to subduction zones geohazards such as regional seismic or geodetic data. These data types share some common problems and could benefit from conversations about a common solution.
|
|
SZNet is inviting researchers with knowledge of inaccessible time series datasets to register to give a short (15 minute) talk describing the scientific importance of the data and the issues involved in its archiving. Speakers should only present data that they are willing to share with the wider scientific community, but that needs technical or financial help in making it more accessible.
|
|
These talks will help identify and raise awareness about existing unarchived/inaccessible time series datasets that could be of benefit to the subduction zone geohazards community if openly available, thus creating exciting opportunities to leverage existing resources for new collaboration.
|
|
Please use the form below to register to give a short (15 minute) talk about an existing dataset(s) that you would like to make accessible to the wider scientific community.
|
Registration Deadline: October 1st, 2024
|
With any questions, feel free to contact organizers at contact@sz4d.org

Postdoctoral Fellow, Induced Seismicity Modeling, Stanford University
|
The Department of Geophysics, Stanford University, seeks candidates for a Postdoctoral Fellow to model induced seismicity during stimulation of enhanced geothermal systems. The work will involve a combination of theoretical and computational modeling, integrated with analysis of data from Fervo Energy’s Cape Station project in Utah. Research will be supervised by Professors Eric Dunham and Paul Segall. The appointment will be for one year with extension to a second year expected if progress is satisfactory.
|
Applicants should hold a PhD in Geophysics, mechanics, or a related discipline with demonstrated competence in continuum modeling of faulting and seismicity, rate and state friction, and related mechanics. Experience or familiarity with reservoir stimulation using multistage hydraulic fracturing is desired, but not required.
|
Required Application Materials:
|
- Cover letter describing your relevant experience and publications, potential start date, and expected date of graduation (if PhD not yet awarded)
- Curriculum vitae
- Names and contact information of 2-3 references
Send application to Professor Eric Dunham: edunham@stanford.edu
|
Applications will be reviewed as they come in.
