Exciting news! We're transitioning to the Statewide California Earthquake Center. Our new website is under construction, but we'll continue using this website for SCEC business in the meantime. We're also archiving the Southern Center site to preserve its rich history. A new and improved platform is coming soon!

Researcher or Project Scientist with focus on geodetic networks and research
UC Berkeley Seismology Laboratory
 
The Berkeley Seismological Laboratory (BSL) will be conducting a search for a scientist to manage the Bay Area Regional Deformation (BARD) geodetic network and engage in additional research activities.   The available position could be filled as a Researcher or Project Scientist depending on the qualifications and research goals of the applicant.  Within either series, the successful candidate will be appointed at the Assistant, Associate, or Full title based on professional achievement and experience.
The specific activities will depend on the interests of the individual but might include the use of GNSS, seismic and InSAR data to develop models of active deformation in northern California.  The position is funded by a combination of internal and external sources and includes research projects funded by federal agencies (USGS, NASA and NSF), and others. This research is focused on rapid, real-time earthquake information (earthquake early warning), the characterization of earthquake hazard in the region based on long-term deformation, and on furthering the understanding of the mechanics of time dependent tectonic processes. Project updates and research results will be reported to the sponsors and published in peer-reviewed research journals.
Additional information is available here: http://earthquakes.berkeley.edu/seismo.positions.html
We anticipate that the position will be listed online in late December and review of applications will begin in January and continue until the position is filled.
Additional information can also be obtained from Prof. Richard Allen, BSL Director (rallen@berkeley.edu), Prof. Roland Bürgmann (burgmann@seismo.berkeley.edu), or Dr. Peggy Hellweg, BSL Operations Manager (peggy@seismo.berkeley.edu).  All will be attending the AGU Fall Meeting.

FACULTY POSITION IN STRUCTURAL SEISMOLOGY

The Department of Earth Sciences at the University of California,
Riverside, invites applications for a faculty position in Structural
Seismology at the Assistant Professor level, available July 1, 2015.

Research
We seek a seismologist who conducts research into the shallow
structure of the Earth. We invite applications from researchers who
focus on understanding the seismic structure of the Earth on local,
crustal and/or lithospheric scales, using techniques including but not
limited to reflection and/or refraction seismology, receiver
functions, shear-wave splitting, travel time and/or ambient noise
tomography. We are particularly interested in candidates who use these
techniques to illuminate fault structures. The successful candidate
will be expected to develop a research program complementary to our
strengths in theoretical/numerical modeling of earthquakes and fault
systems, space geodetic studies of crustal deformation, neotectonics,
observational seismology, and experimental and theoretical
investigations of rheological properties as they pertain to
earthquakes.

Teaching
A successful candidate must have a strong commitment to excellence in
both research and teaching. Teaching responsibilities will include
undergraduate and graduate courses in or related to the area of
specialty.

Application
A Ph.D. in a relevant field and a proven ability to conduct innovative
research are required. Interested individuals should submit a cover
letter, curriculum vitae and statements of research and teaching
interests online at: https://aprecruit.ucr.edu/apply/JPF00277. The
candidate is also required to submit the details of 3-5 referees using
the APRecruit system. For additional information, please contact the
chair of the search committee, Dr. Gareth Funning:
gareth.funning@ucr.edu. Review of applications will begin January 15,
2015 and will continue until the position is filled. Salary will be
commensurate with education and experience.

Information about Earth Sciences at UCR is available at

Processes and Geophysics program can be found at http://ep.ucr.edu.
UCR is a core member of the Southern California Earthquake Center.
