Post Doctoral Fellow 533096 Fairbanks, Alaska, United States On Campus Post Doc Grade 50 UNAC Post Doctoral Fellow UAF Geophysical Institute The Alaska Earthquake Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to contribute to research and development focused on the seismic assessment of landslides using seismology and complementary techniques. The successful candidate will
work with a collaborative team of scientists and operational monitoring staff to develop new approaches for detecting, characterizing, and understanding landslides using seismic, geodetic, remote sensing, and other environmental datasets. This position offers opportunities to pursue independent research while contributing to applied science that supports natural hazard monitoring and public safety across Alaska. As a
public, regional, comprehensive university, UAF welcomes applications from individuals with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. The Earthquake Center is a mission-driven organization set within the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The university offers an attractive work environment and strong benefits, including retirement and health insurance, generous leave policies, and
tuition waivers for UAF courses. The Earthquake Center’s values emphasize employee flexibility, the open sharing of different perspectives, a respectful, inclusive environment, and a commitment to serving Alaska and Alaskans with strong applied science. Career growth and professional development are expected and encouraged. The successful candidate will have a strong interest in seismology, geophysics, environmental
hazards, or related Earth science disciplines. They should be comfortable working with large datasets and time-series observations and have experience with scientific programming, data analysis, and computational methods. In addition to seismology, experience in machine learning, remote sensing, image analysis, geodesy, or the development of real-time monitoring and detection systems is desirable. The candidate
should enjoy solving complex scientific problems, be motivated to develop innovative approaches for understanding natural hazards, and be able to work both independently and collaboratively while communicating scientific results effectively. Minimum Qualifications: Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Geophysics, Seismology, Earth Science, Physics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field at the time of
