The Department of Commerce National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) Building and Fire Research Laboratory (BFRL) seeks an earthquake
engineering research team leader and new earthquake engineering research
staff members in support of its role in the National Earthquake Hazards
Reduction Program (NEHRP). NIST seeks a senior engineer for the team leader
position, and both senior and junior engineers for the research positions,
preferably with advanced degrees in the earthquake engineering field or
equivalent experience in research and practice. Successful applicants must
exhibit a strong technical background in areas associated with seismic risk.

The team leader will work directly with the NEHRP Director to research,
develop, and implement new earthquake risk mitigation measures through both
in-house research and extramural efforts. The successful applicant must
exhibit leadership skills and foster teamwork among diverse participants.
