USGS Mendenhall Postdoctoral Fellowship in Earthquake Geology
|
Hello, we are recruiting for a broad, open search to find a postdoc in earthquake geology at the USGS Earthquake Science Center. While there should be some focus on northern California in the proposal, we are interested in a wide range of approaches to better understanding the overall Pacific – North American plate boundary. Please reach out to the listed research advisors if you are interested in preparing a proposal. Text below is from: https://www.usgs.gov/centers/mendenhall-research-fellowship-program (note other opportunities that are earthquake-focused or -adjacent).
|
The research Fellow will join a group of researchers at the USGS Earthquake Science Center with expertise in geology, paleoseismology, geomorphology, remote sensing, and seismic and other natural hazards. The group has equipment for field investigations such as trenching, mapping, GNSS and lidar surveying, geospatial data analyses, and performs research activities in a highly collaborative environment. Possible research targets include better characterization of faults within the greater San Andreas system in northern California. Additional targets may include areas of tectonic deformation that may indicate hazard from reverse or thrust faults, better characterization of the transition from the San Andreas fault system to Cascadia through the Mendocino Triple Junction region, and better characterization of dextral shear accommodated in the margin of the San Andreas system eastward past the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Methods may include paleoseismology including trenching and lacustrine studies, fault mapping, tectonic geomorphology to establish fault slip rates, and other established and emerging methods. Although geological investigations are emphasized, a successful project may have components of quantitative remote sensing, computational or modeling studies, and geochronology. These methods may be a primary skillset of the Fellow or be brought in via collaboration.
|
Interested applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the Research Advisor(s) early in the application process to discuss project ideas.
|
This Research Opportunity will be filled depending on the availability of funds. All application materials must be submitted through USAJobs by 11:59 pm, US Eastern Standard Time, on the closing date, November 1, 2024. https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/810563100
