<span style="font-family:Helvetica;color:black">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.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family:Helvetica;color:#222222;background:white"> </span></span><span style="font-family:Helvetica;color:#222222;background:white">See<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="color:black"><a href="https://earthquake.usgs.gov/research/eqproc/rockphysics/why.php" target="_blank" title="https://earthquake.usgs.gov/research/eqproc/rockphysics/why.php"><span style="font-family:Helvetica;color:#954F72;background:white">https://earthquake.usgs.gov/research/eqproc/rockphysics/why.php</span></a></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family:Helvetica;color:#222222;background:white"> </span></span><span style="font-family:Helvetica;color:#222222;background:white">for
