USGS Post-Doctoral Fellowship: Geoelectromagnetic hazard science for modern society

Applications are invited for a 2-year Mendenhall post-doctoral fellowship involving topics summarized in the of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Geomagnetism Program's research plan (Love et al., 2020). Specific research topics might address one or more of the following subjects: (1) Analysis of ground magnetometer data geomagnetic monitoring data, including USGS observatory data and new variometer data, to characterize the temporal-geographic expression of storm-time geomagnetic disturbance, (2) Collection of new broad-band magnetotelluric survey data in the Eastern United States and the analysis of those data, in combination with ground magnetometer data, to evaluate and map regional magnetic-storm-induced geoelectric hazards, (3) Collection of new broad-band magnetotelluric survey data in the Eastern United States and the analysis of those data, in combination with simple models of late-phase E3 nuclear electromagnetic pulse (EMP) variation, to evaluate regional nuclear-explosion hazards, (4) Development and improvement of magnetotelluric and joint inversion methods, (5) Statistical or event analysis of publicly available geomagnetically induced current data collected by power-grid companies, (6) Risk-related studies of storm-induced geoelectric hazards, impacts to electricity-transmission systems, and regional concentrations of transmission infrastructure and population density, (7) Analysis of historical data recording past great magnetic storms. Other relevant research topics can also be considered.
