[ES_JOBS_NET] ShakeAlert User Engagement Facilitator in Seattle

[Mouse Marie Reusch]

The Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN) at the University of 
Washington in Seattle has an outstanding opportunity for a ShakeAlert 
User Engagement Facilitator to support the implementation of Earthquake 
Early Warning (EEW) in the Pacific Northwest.

The PNSN monitors earthquakes in the states of Washington and Oregon for 
public safety and scientific research.  EEW will save lives during, and 
speed recovery after, damaging earthquakes in Washington and Oregon by 
giving alert receivers from a few seconds to a couple of minutes of 
warning so they can take protective actions before strong shaking hits 
them. The ShakeAlert EEW project is a multi-million dollar effort that 
is collaborative with the US Geological Survey, University of Oregon, UC 
Berkeley and Caltech.

Under direction of the PNSN director, the Program Operations Specialist 
will be responsible for establishing and maintaining relationships with 
entities that receive and use warnings in Oregon and Washington. They 
will also help plan and execute projects with the goal of disseminating 
widespread public alerts. They will implement user engagement and 
educational outreach projects in coordination with ShakeAlert partner 
alert providers in Oregon and California. User engagement includes 
providing educational outreach about EEW to groups with a variety of 
technical knowledge, exploring how EEW can benefit the user, and 
coordinating and catalyzing the development, implementation, and 
documentation of pilot EEW projects.
