POSITION IN GPS SEISMOLOGY AT IGPP, SCRIPPS INSTITUTION OF OCEANOGRAPHY, UCSD

The Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics (IGPP) at Scripps 
Institution of Oceanography has an opening for a Project Scientist to 
work on a multi-year project to develop an Integrated Real-time 
GPS/Seismic System. The system will collect and analyze GPS and 
seismic data for the purpose of estimating and disseminating 
real-time positions and total displacements (dynamic, as well as 
static) during all phases of the seismic cycle, from fractions of 
seconds to years. Besides its intrinsic scientific use as an enhanced 
displacement meter (transducer), the GPS/Seismic System will be 
applicable to assessing seismic risk, disaster management, and 
structural monitoring. Furthermore, the GPS/Seismic System will 
become an integral part of California's spatial reference system, 
which is complicated by tectonic motion, seismic displacements, and 
land subsidence. This is a classic application project to parlay 
research and development in geodesy, seismology, and information 
sciences to the realization of economic and societal benefits, by 
providing tools for solving real-world problems.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. or equivalent in physics, 
filtering/estimation, seismology/geodesy and/or inertial navigation 
systems. Strong computer and programming skills are required, and 
experience in real-time systems is desirable. The candidate will work 
with two PI's, other scientists at IGPP, and a professional staff of 
engineers, programmers and information technologists.

Rank and salary commensurate with qualifications and experience and 
based on UC salary scales.  This is a permanent position at Scripps, 
contingent on the continued availability of funds. Applications from 
postdoctoral candidates will also be considered.

Applications received by April 15, 2003 will receive full 
consideration.  Please send statement of research interests, 
curriculum vitae, selected reprints, names and addresses of 3 
references, and immigration status to:
