-------------------------------------------------------------
Two-Year Postdoctoral Scholar Position on “Merging Multi-scale Velocity Models”
A Postdoctoral Scholar position is available at the University of Southern California starting September 1, 2019, in a 2-yr project on merging multi-scale/resolution information on seismic velocities in southern California. The goal of the project is to combine results of regional tomographic models, basin studies and other imaging efforts focusing on the shallow crust, local special projects associated with dense deployments, velocity information available at some locations from industry, borehole results, etc. Potential candidates should have expertise in seismic imaging, inverse theory and image processing. The research will also involve simulations of ground motion to validate candidate merged models, and contribute to improving a framework for physics-based seismic hazard analysis by the Southern California Earthquake Center.
The salary is commensurate with experience and qualifications, with a benefits package that includes health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance.
Interested candidates should send an email to benzion@usc.edu with a curriculum vitae and 2-3 references that may be contacted for letters of recommendation by May 26.

Professor of Earth Sciences, University of Southern California
Interim Director, Southern California Earthquake Center

Want to send an announcement to the SCEC community?
SCEC community announcement requests should be sent to scecinfo@usc.edu (no attachments) with the following requirements, in order to best standardize announcements and provide maximum security for recipients. These requirements also ensure that various email applications and any applied filters reach the recipient as the announcement was intended.
1) Use this style guide :
• All text must be in Helvetica, 12 pt.
• Bold, italics, and underline formatting is permitted.
• Consider the length of web links; use bit.ly or tinyurl.com to shorten them as needed.
• NO PDFs, Word Docs, images, or other attachments - all content must be in the email request itself.
2) Include a subject line.

3) Remember, send your request to scecinfo@usc.edu.

We strive to send announcements as soon as possible. In general, expect a 2-3 business day turn-around. We may also combine announcements with others, delay sending certain announcements due to current events, and even reject requests if they do not fit the needs of the SCEC community.
