We are currently recruiting for a 3-year Senior Research Associate position to study the use of DAS for seismic imaging in urban areas. For further details on the role and to apply, please visit the link below:
This position is funded by “DarkSeis", a new EPSRC-funded grant between the University of Bristol (James Verdon, Max Werner), the University of Oxford (Mike Kendall) and the BGS (Jon Chambers).
The post-holder will participate in field campaigns to acquire active-source and passive seismic data using DAS with fibre-optic cables in and around the city of Bristol. They will then lead the processing of the resulting datasets, developing novel methods that leverage the particular qualities of DAS datasets. Given the large volumes of data produced by DAS, we anticipate that machine learning will play a significant role in the processing workflows developed as part of the project.
The closing date for applications is the 26th February. Please forward this to anyone who you think would be interested.

About this award:
This endowed award was created thanks to a bequest from Dorothy M. Deane, widow of the late Prof Roger E Deane, an alumnus of the Department of Geology, University of Toronto (U of T). Prof Deane obtained a PhD in 1949 under the supervision of Prof Alexander Maclean, and returned to U of T as a faculty member in 1955, pursuing research in the areas of glacial geology and Pleistocene paleoenvironments. Prof Deane served as the inaugural Director of Research at the U of T Great Lakes Institute which eventually contributed to the founding of the U of T School of the Environment. Prof Deane died in a tragic boating accident near Tobermory, Ontario in 1965 while undertaking field work.
Salary
CAD$61,000 per year
Term
The term is 1 year, with the possibility of renewal for 1 additional year. This is a full-time, in-person position.

The Alaska Earthquake Center is a cooperative environment where well-empowered collaborative teams execute projects and operations. The duties of a Seismic Analyst are to analyze and evaluate Earthquake Center seismic data to (1) curate the comprehensive catalog of seismic events in Alaska; (2) monitor the quality of the Earthquake Center’s seismic waveforms and catalog; and (3) investigate and report unusual events that appear in our data.
To thrive in this role you must enjoy working with people, solving puzzles, and uncovering unique signals to better understand Alaska’s distinct environment regarding hazard, risk management, and research. While a degree and background in geophysics or geology are preferred, many can excel with a background in solving time-series data. This position requires an applicant to work on-call at times and weekends when large earthquakes occur - but - does allow for overtime.

GNSS Processing for Earthquake Hazards Monitoring, Science, and Mitigation
About the job
The Universities Space Research Association (USRA) has a mission to advance space-related sciences and exploration through innovative research, technology, and education programs that involve universities, governments, and the private sector for the benefit of humanity. As part of this mission, USRA is conducting collaborative research for the investigation of hazards and resources with the USGS Earthquake Science Center, Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center and the USGS National Innovation Center. USGS operates the ShakeAlert earthquake early warning system for the U.S. west coast in collaboration with several university partners. The system rapidly detects earthquakes and generates alerts that are issued to the public and institutional users to inform them of impending shaking. The purpose of this position is to support the collaborative research with USGS focused on improving ShakeAlert, crustal deformation monitoring systems, and post-earthquake response by including high-rate and real-time geodetic data.
We are seeking a passionate and highly motivated individual to join our team focusing on research, development and implementation of innovative, real-time GNSS processing techniques for earthquake early warning (EEW), rapid response, and longer term crustal deformation monitoring. Specific projects may include analyzing real-time position time series during earthquakes, identifying the best real-time GNSS positioning methodologies for general earthquake monitoring and to feed into the ShakeAlert system, monitoring output from real-time GNSS-based algorithms to understand factors controlling their performance in operation, and further development and testing of additional GNSS-based EEW approaches to identify strategies that may improve ShakeAlert’s overall performance. Successful candidates will have experience in geodesy (especially real-time GNSS data), statistics (especially techniques for analyzing noise in time series data), and seismology, along with strong programming skills in Python and C++.
Position Summary:
The Associate Scientist will carry out research, development, and implementation to support the use of GNSS data, especially real-time data, for earthquake monitoring and hazards research, for post-earthquake response activities, and in the ShakeAlert EEW system.
Essential Duties/Responsibilities:
- Conduct research on and testing of scientific-grade GNSS processing algorithms and methodologies as applied to EEW, rapid characterization of crustal deformation, and analysis of longer-term deformation over time scales of days to years.
- Monitor the performance of real-time GNSS processing and related EEW algorithm(s) and develop methods for mitigating poor performance.
- Collaborate with USRA and USGS seismologists, geodesists, and system engineers to integrate GNSS data into earthquake monitoring and mitigation efforts.
- Contribute to research papers in leading scientific journals and present findings at relevant scientific conferences.
Additional Responsibilities
- Satisfy USRA’s non-profit mission by making a distinctive impact through technical accomplishments in the assigned projects.
- Model USRA’s core values:
- Passion (for science, technology and education);
- Partnerships (with universities, governments, and the private sector); and
- Professionalism (through excellence, accountability, and respect for others).
- Act safely, ethically and in compliance with all laws and regulations and USRA policies and procedures including:
- Ensure the protection of USGS and USRA intellectual property with respect to commercial and ITAR/EAR concerns through disclosures, patent applications
