Seismologist
Company: Appliedphysics
Location: Los Angeles
Posted on: October 19, 2024
Job Description:
Applied Physics is seeking a highly motivated and experienced
seismologist to join our gravitational ranging team. As a
seismologist at Applied Physics, you will conduct original research
in seismology related to induced seismicity and reservoir
geomechanics, working on geothermal energy, geologic carbon
storage, waste fluid disposal, or unconventional oil and gas
projects.Responsibilities:
- Conduct original research in seismology related to induced
seismicity and reservoir geomechanics
- Organize, analyze, and interpret large geophysical sets from
ongoing laboratory/field operations and physics-based
simulations
- Employ physical, statistical, or machine learning-based methods
for analyzing, interpreting, and forecasting microseismic data
- Utilize probabilistic techniques for induced seismicity hazard
assessment.
- Develop uncertainty quantification or other techniques for
correlating observed seismicity with fluid injection rates and
volumes
- Collect, aggregate, and analyze real-time data streams and
develop software or other approaches to improve detection of
hazardous faults in the subsurface
- Publish both reports and peer-reviewed publications summarizing
research findings. Present results at program meetings and research
conferences
- Work as part of a scientific team, interacting with
seismologists, geologists, reservoir engineers, statisticians,
physicists, and computer scientists to design and implement
high-impact researchQualifications:
- PhD in Seismology, Geophysics, Earth Science, Data Science
related to Geophysics, or related field
- Experience with high-performance computing, numerical
earthquake simulation (e.g. dynamic rupture, cycle simulation),
statistical and/or physics-based operational earthquake
forecasting, and seismic hazard analysis
- Ability to formulate novel solutions related to understanding
of the geomechanical behavior of subsurface reservoirs and the
underlying physical processes leading to induced seismicity, and/or
other seismology or geomechanical problems
- Experience with computer systems and modern programming
languages (e.g. Python, C/C++, R, Java, shell scripting), Mac or
PC, Unix or Linux platforms or other data management
approaches
- Demonstrated written and verbal communication skills.
Experience writing and presenting reports, publications, and
proposals, ability to interact effectively with a team of
interdisciplinary scientists
- Experience with earthquake physics, modeling geophysical
behavior, and the application of machine learning methods to earth
science problems
- Experience with geophysical monitoring or analysis of
microseismic data
- Experience modeling fluid flow in the subsurface, geomechanical
behavior of faults, or seismic wave propagation
- Experience with numerical methods, particularly finite
difference or finite element techniques as applied to forward and
inverse modeling of subsurface problemsWe offer a competitive
salary and benefits package, flexible work hours, and opportunities
for growth and career development. Join our dynamic and passionate
team and help us make a positive impact on the world.If you are a
talented, motivated, and empathetic individual who shares our
passion for making a difference, we encourage you to apply for this
exciting opportunity to work with our team at Applied Physics.
Applied Physics is an equal opportunity employer.
