Job Description

research geophysicist in either the Moffett Field or Pasadena, CA, field office, to conduct research focused on crustal deformation and seismic hazard using Global Navigation Satellite Systems.


As a Research Geophysicist within the Earthquake Science Center, some of your specific duties will include:

  • Conceiving, planning, and conducting research on topics related to earthquake cycle deformation and seismic hazards.
  • Conducting research aimed towards constraining strain accumulation and release, earthquake rupture processes and sources of aseismic deformation using GNSS geodetic techniques.
  • Curating and utilizing rapid response datasets.
  • Advancing novel geodetic techniques such as Wave Glider-based seafloor surveying (GNSS-A), and optical measurements.
  • Mentoring and advising postdoctoral researchers conducting research on related topics in geodesy, crustal deformation, and earthquake physics.
  • Actively engaging with and communicating scientific results to external partners and end-users on topics related to ground deformation and seismic hazard.
