The project aims to establish an open-data, real-time, multi-sensor experiment on Okmok and Cleveland volcanoes in Alaska in order to develop data streams and forecasts for highly active volcanic systems. Classic â??closedâ?? and â??openâ?? volcanoes, Okmok and Cleveland will serve as testing grounds for the use of multi-sensor, satellite-telemetered arrays to understand eruption run-up, triggering and precursors. A multi-year logistics platform will engage partners in this community experiment. The candidate will work with a team of Principal Investigators at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, the Alaska Volcano Observatory and other project partners. Efforts would include developing open tools for analyzing real-time mulit-sensor data, taking part in field deployments, helping organize field logistics, and engaging in outreach to stakeholders and inreach to the science community. The candidate is encouraged to conduct original research using the AVERT data. Qualifications: A Ph.D. in a relevant field is required by the date of hire. Preferred qualifications include prior field work on active volcanoes, published research involving volcano seismology and/or geodesy, excellent communication and organizational skills, and experience in machine learning, edge computing, data assimilation and/or forecasting models. Applicants will be eligible for either the rank of Postdoctoral Research Scientist or Associate Research Scientist based on post-Ph.D. years of experience.
