<span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Helvetica;">The USGS Mendenhall program has a post-doctoral opportunity (</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Helvetica;">#22-36</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Helvetica;">) for
recent graduates in </span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Helvetica; color: rgb(23, 23, 23); background: white;">computer science, geophysics, seismology, statistics, or related fields.</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Helvetica; color: rgb(23, 23, 23); background: white;">The goal of this opportunity is to develop machine-learning approaches to improve earthquake forecasting capabilities – namely, to better predict the rate, locations,
and sizes of earthquakes, and to supplement or potentially replace the empirical epidemic-type aftershock sequence (ETAS) models currently being used by the USGS for operational earthquake forecasting. In their proposal, applicants should describe methods
and architectures amenable to extracting relevant features from catalogs of earthquake times and locations, and to generating stochastic representations of future activity. </span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
