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:
