Due to an error in the distribution of a previous advertisement, the U.S.
Geological Survey's (USGS) Cascades Volcano Observatory (CVO) is
re-advertising a Research Geophysicist position with specialty in
seismology and infrasound.  CVO, located in Vancouver, WA, is one of 5
volcano observatories operated by the USGS' Volcano Science Center, which
are collectively responsible for understanding and mitigating volcanic
hazards at the nation's 161 potentially active volcanoes.  In addition to
having responsibility for volcanoes in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, CVO
is host to the USGS' Volcano Disaster Assistance Program, which works with
scientists and officials in other countries to aide them in their efforts
to mitigate volcanic hazards.

As a Research Geophysicist at CVO, some of the specific duties will include:
â?¢       Leading and conducting research in volcano seismology and
infrasound to assess the hazards related to potentially active volcanoes
through an integrated program of field and laboratory investigations.
â?¢       Planning, conducting, and interpreting research based on
seismological and/or infrasound investigations of active volcanoes in
Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, with a primary focus on volcanoes in the
Cascade Range as well as elsewhere in the western U.S. and analogous
volcanic regions abroad, in collaboration with other USGS and academic
researchers.
â?¢       Analyzing and interpreting seismic and infrasonic data to improve
understanding of the underlying volcanic processes giving rise to
seismic/infrasonic signals.
â?¢       Design, test and implement algorithms to automatically detect,
identify, and locate seismic and infrasonic signals associated with unrest,
eruption, and/or surface mass movements (e.g., lahars, avalanches, rock
falls), with a particular focus on Mount Rainier.
â?¢       Assist in the design, installation and maintenance of volcano
monitoring networks.
â?¢       Communicate results of research investigations to the broader
scientific community as well as government official and local stakeholders.
â?¢       Physical Demands: Must be able to hike long distances in isolated
regions, often over uneven or steep terrain under extreme weather
conditions, and carry a backpack of up to 50 lbs in weight.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens and have valid state driver's licenses &
safe driving record.
