Alaska Earthquake Information Center (AEIC), Geophysical Institute, 
University of Alaska Fairbanks.

AEIC is recruiting a Tsunami Numerical Modeler for the Alaska Tsunami 
Inundation Mapping Project to develop and apply hydrodynamic numerical 
models of tsunami wave generation, propagation and runup. The goal of 
this project is to map potential inundation of Alaska coastal 
communities, providing local emergency officials with site-specific 
tsunami hazard assessment.

Qualifications: Ph.D. degree in Oceanography, other Earth or Physical 
Sciences, Mathematics or Engineering, strong knowledge of ocean dynamics 
and numerical modeling techniques, experience with computational fluid 
dynamics, preferably in tsunami numerical modeling.

The successful candidate of this position will be placed at a level 
appropriate for their education and experience. This position is part of 
a career development plan and that will provide an avenue for increasing 
the position's scope, complexity, and degree of independence as the
