Deadline Extended for SSA 2025 Session Proposals
|
Help shape the SSA 2025 Annual Meeting (14-18 April in Baltimore, Maryland) by submitting a session proposal. Led by co-chairs Vedran Lekic, University of Maryland, and Victor Tsai, Brown University, the meeting will be a dynamic week of in-person collaboration, learning and networking.
|
New Deadline is 24 October 2024 at 5pm US PT
|
SSA invites session proposals from across the fields of geotechnical and earthquake engineering, earthquake science and seismology and encourages all conveners to assemble a diverse group of co-conveners. Student and early-career scientists are especially encouraged to submit session proposals.

Assistant Professor of Solid Earth Geophysics
|
The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (DEES) seeks applicants for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in solid Earth geophysics. Expertise in marine geophysics and/or geophysics for geohazards is preferred, including, but not limited to: earthquakes and tsunamis, active plate boundaries, volcanoes, landslides, and the study of Earth structure. The successful applicant will interact with researchers across DEES, the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO), and the Columbia Climate School, complementing ongoing research in marine and global geophysics and in geohazards; and is expected to develop a high-impact research program based at LDEO, and to demonstrate strong potential for effective teaching at undergraduate and graduate levels.
|
Applicants should have a PhD in earth and environmental sciences or related field. Successful candidates are expected to demonstrate a commitment to diversity and equity in education through their scholarship, teaching, and/or service. We are deeply committed to increasing diversity and especially encourage applications from under-represented groups. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. A complete application should include: 1) a cover letter 2) curriculum vitae 3) a statement of 2-3 pages describing current and proposed research 4) a statement of teaching interests (one page) 5) a statement describing contributions and plans relevant to the DEES/LDEO commitment to diversity and inclusion (one page) 6) three letters of recommendation. Questions regarding this position may be directed via email to Meredith Nettles (nettles@ldeo.columbia.edu).
|
Review of applications will begin on October 15, 2024 and continue until the position is filled.

CRESCENT Undergraduate Summer Opportunity: Cores to Code
|
|
Are you an undergraduate student looking for a unique summer experience? Apply today to the CRESCENT Cores to Code program!
|
|
Cores to Code (C2C) is a 3-week summer research experience that will delve into the interdisciplinary study of the earthquake and tsunami history of the Cascadia subduction zone. The program will be based out of Cal Poly Humboldt, a minority-serving institution. Students will conduct geologic fieldwork in Humboldt Bay coastal marshes, collect marsh sediment cores, conduct laboratory analysis on the cores, and explore how these geologic data are integrated into the geophysical models that help characterize past earthquakes along the Cascadia subduction zone. At the end of the program, students will synthesize and present their findings to their peers, mentors, and local community.
|
C2C seeks a broad applicant pool with the goal of engaging a new, diverse generation of coastal geologists and modelers. Students from minority-serving institutions or who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people of color), Latinx, LGBTQ+, or first-generation college students will have priority during the selection process.

USGS Mendenhall Postdoctoral Research Opportunity on Earthquake Sequences
|
Earthquakes are well-known to cluster in space and time, evolving as sequences of events. Earthquake clustering models underly critical USGS products such as the National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) and Operational Aftershock Forecasts (OAF). Despite this broad tendency towards clustering, sequence evolution varies dramatically from region to region and sequence to sequence. And because earthquake sequences can occur in populated areas, they inspire public interest as well as possible anxiety stemming from uncertainty around what may happen next. Earthquake sequences and how they are treated in seismic hazard forecasts therefore represent an important target for further research, both scientifically and societally.
|
We seek a Mendenhall Fellow to conduct research into earthquake sequence evolution and how it may vary, to forecast seismic hazard and communicate earthquake activity across many timescales. Topics could include earthquake sequence physics and/or statistics, near-real-time characterization, temporal and spatial variations on seismic hazard forecasts, and implementing research into model updates.

SZ4D Plans for NSF Mid-Scale Research Infrastructure 2 (MSRI-2): Progress & Path Forward
|
Join us on Monday October 14 at 8AM PT for the SZ4D Public Forum on Zoom. As SZ4D prepares for the MSRI-2* proposal submission, potentially in Spring 2025, we will present the scope of the proposal, the writing process, and the action plan aimed at solidifying the project’s goals. The forum will also cover the next steps leading to the submission. A Q&A panel will provide an open forum for community input and questions. This public event is open to all, especially to those interested in learning more about SZ4D’s plans for infrastructure.
