Postdoctoral Scholar in Multi-Hazard, Multi-Sensor Monitoring at Mt Rainier - Geohazard Initiative – University of Washington Position Overview School / Campus / College: College of the Environment Organization: Earth and Space Science Title: Postdoctoral Scholar in Multi-Hazard, Multi-Sensor Monitoring at Mt Rainier - Geohazard Initiative – University of Washington Position Details Position Description The
University of Washington (UW) Geophysics Group invites applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar to lead high-impact research in multi-hazard, multi-sensor monitoring of geological hazards at Mt Rainier, supported by the UW College of the Environment's Geohazard Initiative. Generous support from Jerry and Linda Paros enables bold, interdisciplinary science to advance our understanding of geological hazards and Earth
processes in one of North America's most complex and geologically active regions. Summary:The postdoc will collaborate closely with Dr. Marine Denolle and Dr. Paul Bodin and researchers across UW, eScience Institute, Civil Environmental Engineering, Atmospheric Sciences, Applied Mathematics, and engage with partners such as the USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory and the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network. The person in
this position will have access to many resources including: Access to petascale computing and cloud-based infrastructure. A state-of-the-art UW Fiber Lab for DAS data and Pacific Northwest Seismic Network specialists in multi-sensor networks An working environment with a commitment to open science, peer and student mentoring, reproducible workflows, and collaborative tools. The project’s scope includes event
detection and classification (earthquakes, landslides, lahars, glacier motion, atmospheric signals), data fusion across sensing modalities, and development of scalable machine learning pipelines. Work will be entirely computational and based in Seattle, with no field deployment responsibilities. Responsibilities:The postdoc will work on integrating multiple observational data streams for real-time and retrospective
analysis of geophysical and environmental hazards. This includes: Tiltmeter and rotational sensor data near volcanic edifices. Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) on buried and surface-deployed fiber. Regional seismic and infrasound networks. Hydrological and weather data relevant to understanding processes such as debris flows and glacial melt. Volcanic, Tectonic, Hydrologic, and Geotechnical framework of hazards,
