An ideal candidate would bring to the project a solid background in seismology, expertise in probabilistic seismic hazard assessment and statistics as well as good programming skills. In the framework of the EU funded NERIES project, you will work with a team of European researchers on developing and implementing time-dependent earthquake hazard models for Europe, similar to the first generation of such model that we developed in partnership with SCEC and the USGS for California (http://pasadena.wr.usgs.gov/step/). Quantitative testing of such likelihood models, as well as overseeing the development of a suitable cyber-infrastructure for communicating these novel hazard resources to scientists, media, decision makers and the general public, will be an important part of your duties. You will work in close collaboration with partner institutions throughout Europe, the US and New Zealand, with the possibility of extended stays at selected partner institutions. The position is available from April 1, 2006 and funded for a 3-year period, extension is a possibility. Salary is depending on experience, ranging from 80 kCHF to 100 kCHF. As a member of the ETH faculty, you will be involved in teaching, the supervision of graduate students, the initiation of new research projects and the 24/7 monitoring duties of the SED. Fluency in English is mandatory, a working knowledge of German is desired or is expected to be acquired. In its effort to increase the number of women in academic positions, ETHZ encourages applications from well-qualified female scientists.
