Postdoctoral Scholar – Scientific Program Manager, Paros Geohazards Center Position Overview School / Campus / College: College of the Environment Organization: School of Oceanography Title: Postdoctoral Scholar – Scientific Program Manager, Paros Geohazards Center Position Details Position Description The newly formed Paros Geohazards Center (https://parosgeohazardscenter.uw.edu) in the College of the Environment at
the University of Washington (UW) is seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar to support the Center's mission to develop and exploit novel sensing technologies and the algorithms to analyze their signals for monitoring geohazards. Reporting to the Center Director and working closely with the Paros Chairs/Investigators, the successful candidate will help coordinate the Center's scientific activities, contribute to research on
emerging sensing technologies, participate in shaping the Center's initial scientific direction, support the development of new research initiatives and proposals, and develop partnerships that translate research advances into improved geohazards monitoring and hazard mitigation. The Center's initial research is organized around six flagship initiatives that address a broad range of geohazards through the development
and application of new observational approaches. These initiatives include real-time seafloor sensing for the Cascadia Subduction Zone, the Forks geophysical borehole testing center and observatory, integrated sensing of mountain and volcanic geohazards, a cryospheric sensor test bed, wind and waves in Arctic sea ice, and cross-initiative applications of infrasound sensing. Together, these initiatives bring
researchers from across the University of Washington and partner institutions together to develop, deploy, and exploit innovative instrumentation and analytical methods that advance our understanding of geohazards and improve hazard monitoring and mitigation. The successful candidate will support the management and growth of the Center by supporting the development of new research directions, coordinating flagship
research initiatives, tracking scientific progress, managing budgets, and developing project plans and funding strategies. They will help build an active Center community by increasing participation of faculty, scientists, postdoctoral scholars, and students; organizing scientific meetings, workshops, and collaborative activities; and fostering connections among researchers across the University of Washington and
