Job overview
The Seismology Postdoctoral Fellow will conduct research on geomechanical and pore pressure models linking human operations to evolving seismicity rates. The work aims to explain the nucleation and evolution of seismicity using inputs such as earthquake and hydrogeological data and stress-change models. The fellow will also contribute to collaborative research on subsurface stress changes from geo-energy operations, with results potentially informing regional time-dependent seismic hazard models and risk mitigation.

Full job description
Provide novel research on geomechanical and pore pressure models linking human operations to the evolving seismicity rates. The goal is to be able to construct models that explain the nucleation and evolution of seismicity. Model-inputs might include earthquake and hydrogeological data, stress-change models, etc. In addition, you will contribute to collaborative research modeling stress changes in the subsurface due to geo-energy related operations, validating potential identification of causal factors. The results could be integrated in a regional time-dependent seismic hazard model estimating approaches for risk mitigation.Present in meetings and conferences.Publish in peer review journals.
