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.

Qualifications:

  • 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

Requirements

  • 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 problems

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 research


Benefits

We 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.
