USGS seeks qualified applicants for the position of:



Research Geophysicist in Experimental Rock Physics/Rock Mechanics


This full time, permanent position (GS-13/14) is in the U.S. Geological Survey Earthquake Science Center (ESC). Research is focused on experimental studies of earthquake physics at the ESC Rock Deformation laboratory in Menlo Park, CA (with relocation to new facilities at nearby Moffett Field, CA in approximately 16 months). The purpose of this position is to conduct laboratory and theoretical studies in rock mechanics aimed at improved understanding of failure processes under conditions expected at seismogenic depths, and to interpret how these failure processes relate to earthquake nucleation and magnitude, pore fluid/rock interaction, induced seismicity, wave speed, permeability, and other geophysical parameters. See https://earthquake.usgs.gov/research/eqproc/rockphysics/why.php for a description of the Rock Deformation labs, and the link therein for a description of the equipment we use.

The application deadline is March 25. Candidates must be US citizens. Access the job announcement (number USGS-SAC-22-11375079-DE-ML) through the link:  USAJOBS - Job Announcement<https://www.usajobs.gov/job/640781600>.
