Job Title: Seismology Postdoctoral Fellow

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the University of Texas at Austin. The successful candidate will have a strong background in seismology, geophysics, or a related field, and will be responsible for conducting research in earthquake risk mitigation and seismic hazard assessment.

Responsibilities:
  • Conduct research in earthquake risk mitigation and seismic hazard assessment using geophysical and geomechanical data.
  • Develop and implement novel research methods for modeling stress changes in the subsurface due to geo-energy related operations.
  • Collaborate with colleagues to integrate research findings into a regional time-dependent seismic hazard model.
  • Present research results in meetings and conferences, and publish in peer-reviewed journals.
Requirements:
  • PhD in engineering, seismology, or geophysics.
  • Prior research experience with geophysical/geomechanical modeling, hypothesis testing, earthquake catalogs, and stress evolution processes.
  • Good knowledge of software programming (e.g. Matlab, Python).
  • PhD must have been received within 3 years from date of hire.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Knowledge of subsurface pore-pressure modeling, earthquake nucleation processes, fault rupture propagation, and seismic hazard modeling.
Working Conditions:
  • May work around standard office conditions.
  • Repetitive use of a keyboard at a workstation.
  • Occasional weekend, overtime, and evening work to meet deadlines.
  • Occasional travel intrastate, interstate, international.
  • Occasional fieldwork as necessary.
Required Materials:
  • Resume/CV.
  • 3 work references with their contact information.
  • Letter of interest.

Please note that all applicants must meet the required qualifications and be able to perform all essential functions with or without a reasonable accommodation.
