*************************************************************************** From: Don Thomas <dthomas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> *************************************************************************** Postdoctoral Research Seismologist USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, Hawaii National Park, Hawai`i POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP, Center for the Study of Active Volcanoes (CSAV), University of Hawaii at Hilo (UHH), to begin approx. 01/2009, one-year appointment, Federal funds, renewal dependent on performance and availability of funds. Training to be performed: Participate in research on seismic activity in Hawai`i; based at the United States Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO). HVO is in the process of upgrading seismic field instrumentation and seismic data processing systems including both the real-time and post-processing systems. We are looking for a motivated individual to work on developing data visualization techniques and tools which will integrate and compliment ongoing research topics such as algorithms for real-time earthquake location, shakemap generation, identifying and characterizing volcanic tremor sources, real-time quantification of station quality and network status, and a variety of imaging and tomographic techniques to constrain three-dimensional seismological structure using broadband and short-period seismic data. HVO's ongoing seismic network upgrades will provide the opportunity to assist in the design and installation of new seismic stations and communication networks which are critical for real-time seismic data monitoring. The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) monitors earthquakes and seismic activity on Hawai`i Island continuously and in real-time using a network of over 50 seismic stations to provide warnings of impending eruption and to assess seismic hazards in the State of Hawai`i. Thousands of earthquakes occur every year beneath the Island of Hawai`i providing an excellent dataset for a range of seismological studies. Qualifications: Ph. D. in seismology. Experience with real-time seismic data processing systems, digital signal processing, data visualization, and/or seismic imaging and tomographic techniques. Experience with field deployment of seismic equipment and the ability to perform physical labor (e.g., able to lift and carry batteries, equipment, etc.) desired. Minimum Stipend: $45,000 per year, benefits not included. To Apply: Submit letter of application, resume, and documentation of status of PhD degree along with names of three professional references to: Dr. Donald Thomas, CSAV, University of Hawai`i at Hilo, 200 W. Kawili St., Hilo, HI 96720-4096 (dthomas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). ============================================================== To unsubscribe from the volcano list, send the message: signoff volcano to: listserv@xxxxxxx, or write to: volcano-request@xxxxxxxx To contribute to the volcano list, send your message to: volcano@xxxxxxxx Please do not send attachments. ==============================================================
