Postdoc at USGS: Study of ULF Magnetic-precursory Signals to Large Earthquakes - applications due Dec 1
An opportunity for a post-doctoral appointment within the US Geological Survey under the Mendenhall program is announced. A critical study of ULF magnetic precursory signals to large earthquakes is the focus. Included will be an examination of existing reports of precursory signals, as well as a general study of the multiple sources of ULF wave generation in order to objectively assess the likelihood that ULF waves can, in fact, be practically used for earthquake prediction. A useful by-product of this work will be an enhanced fundamental understanding of a magnetospheric phenomenon of importance to space physics and which can be studied with USGS data products.
