Duties

The Earthquake Science Center in the Earthquake Hazards Program develops and operates ground motion and ground deformation instrumentation networks and computer algorithms to detect and characterize earthquakes rapidly and automatically. The Center uses these networks and algorithms to aid in the advancement of earthquake studies as well as the mitigation of earthquake hazards. The Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) Project provides warnings of impending earthquake shaking to people and infrastructure with the goal of mitigating the impact of earthquake hazards. Providing advanced warning of earthquake shaking requires ongoing development and implementation of novel and sophisticated computational methods to monitor real time ground shaking and deformation data from a variety of sources.

As an EDGE Computer Scientist for ShakeAlert within the Earthquake Science Center, some of your specific duties will include:

Participate in the design and development of the ShakeAlert system including the overall system architecture, establishing performance standards, and system testing and monitoring. Research and development of new methods for the integration of novel seismic and geodetic sensor data from MEMS accelerometers, cell phones, and other low-cost sensors. Provide technical leadership in the creation of novel computational solutions to improve Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) system performance. Assess current EEW algorithm performance and identify areas for improvement. Explore machine learning approaches, novel database schemes, use of cloud computing for data processing, and improved visualization of results. Develop, maintain, and troubleshoot systems to originate alerts and send them via the national Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA).
