<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica">(There is the possibility of hiring up to 2 people on this search.) 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 style="font-family:Helvetica;color:#222222;background:white"> See<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><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;background:white">https://earthquake.usgs.gov/research/eqproc/rockphysics/why.php</span></a><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
