USGS Mendenhall Postdoc on seismic hazards/EQ geology in northern California
USGS - Menlo Park, California, United States
Apply before: 27 September 2019


We have extended the deadline to apply to a Mendenhall postdoc opportunity in the Northern California Earthquake Geology Project at the USGS Earthquake Science Center at Moffett Field in Mountain View California. We seek a creative geologist or geophysicist to study seismic hazard associated with faults in the San Joaquin and Sacramento Delta region, with additional freedom to work on intellectually related problems of faulting, fault activity and natural hazards.

The posting is below and the application deadline is September 27 with a flexible start date:

https://www.usgs.gov/centers/mendenhall/s38-improved-understanding-seismic-hazard-sacramento-san-joaquin-delta-region

The position will be based in our new offices at NASA's Moffett Field in Mountain View California.

To apply an ~8 page proposal is required and candidates can (should) contact research advisers to discuss: Steve DeLong, Belle Philibosian, Kate Scharer, Keith Knudsen.

Unlike some Mendenhall opportunities that compete internally for funds, this one is funded and will be filled.

Thanks!
Steve
