Become a member of AIR's growing Earthquake team in the Research & Modeling department. You will join a team of seismologists, civil and structural engineers, and other professionals to develop seismic risk analysis models used to estimate losses from natural catastrophes.

Main responsibilities, but not limited to:

• Collect and analyze earthquake related data for constructing regional seismicity models
• Develop regional probabilistic seismic hazard models
• Develop local ground motion site amplification models
• Responsible for technical presentations
• Develop computer codes to simulate complex physical systems
• Conduct probabilistic hazard assessment and modeling

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

• Solid comprehension of at least two of the following:
• Seismicity studies and seismotectonics analysis
• Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis
• Ground motion attenuation studies
• Local site/soil effects
• Near source effects
• Geodetic studies
• Knowledge of probabilistic analysis techniques
• Proficiency in scientific programming languages, including FORTRAN, 3+ years experience
• Risk modeling experience a plus
• GIS knowledge a plus

Requirements:

• 2+ years of practical experience
• Ph.D. in Seismology or related field
