PICKLE RESEARCH CAMPUSJob Details:General Notes:
This position is located at the J.J. Pickle Research Campus in North Austin.Purpose:
Computational modeling of geophysical processes and analysis of Geophysical data to improve existing and develop new approaches for earthquake source characterization.Responsibilities:Conduct research to develop novel computational approaches on earthquake source characterization using full waveform inversion or combination of similar inversion methodologies. The goal is to minimize earthquake source location uncertainty using existing methods, estimate source intensity and directionality characteristics, and develop new methods that may require the joint estimation of additional subsurface geophysical parameters.Comparatively assess the effectiveness of different methods in earthquake source characterization under heterogeneous and isotropic/anisotropic conditions.Integrate results into TexNet's operational process for earthquake location and a regional time-dependent seismic hazard model for risk mitigation.Present in meetings and conferences.Publish in peer review journals.Required Qualifications:
PhD in computational engineering, seismology, or geophysics. Prior research experience with geophysical/geomechanical modeling, hypothesis testing, earthquake catalogs, and stress evolution processes is preferred. Excellent knowledge/experience in software development, including excellent skills in parallel programming. PhD must have been received within 3 years from date of hire.Preferred Qualifications:
Knowledge of subsurface modeling, earthquake nucleation processes, fault rupture propagation, and seismic hazard modeling.Salary Range:
$70,000Working Conditions:May work around standard office conditions.Repetitive use of a keyboard at a workstation.Occasional weekend, overtime, and evening work to meet deadlines.Occasional travel intrastate, interstate, and international.Required Materials:Resume/CV3 work references with their contact informationLetter of interestImportant for applicants who are NOT current university employees or contingent workers:
You will be prompted to submit your resume the first time you apply, then you will be provided an option to upload a new Resume for subsequent applications. Any additional Required Materials (letter of interest, references, etc.) will be uploaded in the Application Questions section; you will be able to multi-select additional files. Before submitting your online job application, ensure that all Required Materials have been uploaded. Once your job application has been submitted, you cannot make changes.Employment Eligibility:
Please make sure you meet all the required qualifications and can perform all of the essential functions with or without a reasonable accommodation.Retirement Plan Eligibility:
The retirement plan for this position is Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS), subject to the position being at least 20 hours per week and at least 135 days in length. This position has the option to elect the Optional Retirement Program (ORP) instead of TRS, subject to the position being 40 hours per week and at least 135 days in length.Background Checks:
A criminal history background check will be required for finalist(s) under consideration for this position.Equal Opportunity Employer:
The University of Texas at Austin, as an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer, complies with all applicable federal and state laws regarding nondiscrimination and affirmative action.Pay Transparency:
The University of Texas at Austin will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against employees or applicants because they have inquired about, discussed, or disclosed their own pay or the pay of another employee or applicant.Employment Eligibility Verification:
If hired, you will be required to complete the federal Employment Eligibility Verification I-9 form.E-Verify:
The University of Texas at Austin uses E-Verify to check the work authorization of all new hires effective May 2015.Compliance:
Employees may be required to report violations of law under Title IX and the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act).
