[ES_JOBS_NET] Seismologist Vacancy at UWI Seismic Research Centre, St. Augustine, Trinidad

[Erouscilla Joseph]

*Vacancy for Research Fellow - Seismologist at the UWI Seismic Research 
Centre:*

The UWI Seismic Research Centre (SRC) was set up in 1953 and became part 
of The UWI in 1962. From its headquarters in Trinidad, it operates a 
network of seismograph stations extending from Trinidad and Tobago 
through the Lesser Antilles to St. Kitts. The SRC is responsible for 
monitoring earthquake and volcanic activity in these 11 islands. Persons 
interested in this post are strongly advised to visit our website at 
http://www.uwiseismic.com to learn more about the operations of the SRC.

The main method of day-to-day monitoring of these phenomena is the 
operation of over 60 instruments that comprise a mixture of 
three-component broadband seismograph stations, three-component 
short-period seismometers, strong motion stations and single vertical 
component stations. All three-component stations send their data and 
those from associated single component stations, to Trinidad using 
satellite and/or internet technology. Other monitoring techniques in use 
include ground deformation measurement and thermal and geochemical (gas 
and water chemistry) measurements. The SRC has an active programme of 
research in the field of geoscience aimed at complementing hazard 
awareness, risk assessment and early warning.

The *Seismologist* will be expected to work with a team of seismic 
analysts, earth scientists and engineers to provide real-time earthquake 
and volcanic surveillance in the Eastern Caribbean. He/She will be 
expected to develop a research program, in collaboration with other 
staff members, with the overall aim of improving the understanding of 
tectonic and volcanic processes, as well as the hazards associated with 
the regional geodynamic processes.Further details can be found at the link:
