Doc) Position Announcement Position # 0012083


The National Geoelectromagnetic Facility (NGF) at OSU is a National
Science Foundation (NSF)-supported center for instrumentation and
electromagnetic (EM) investigations on scales ranging from the near
surface to the deep mantle. The NGF operates ~90 long-period and (ultra)
wideband land and marine EM instruments. Independent research under the
Principal Investigator's (PI's) guidance is carried out by the
position(s). Dependent upon the individual(s), the two positions may be
combined into a single full-time position or filled separately.

NSF project: Imaging the conductivity structure of the continental crust
and mantle while simultaneously imaging the primary inducing ionospheric
electrical current systems; providing new controls on ionospheric/Earth
coupling. Magnetotelluric (MT) and ionospheric radar/optical data are
acquired in a scientific frontier area where the broad Alaska
continental margin transitions to stable North American craton. Two
years' funding is available for data acquisition, analysis and
interpretation supporting field crew and technical assistance.

Department of Energy project: Monitoring Enhanced Geothermal Systems at
Newberry volcano in central Oregon involving two-dimensional (2D),
three-dimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) audio-frequency
magnetotelluric (AMT) data, surface deformation from ground and
satellite-based interferometric radar, microgravity, controlled-source
EM and geochemistry from a 2,000-3,000m deep, hot, dry rock geothermal
stimulation project. The RAPD analyzes existing baseline data and data
from the first geothermal stimulation event, manages experiment
re-deployment for a summer 2014 geothermal injection, and interprets
data. Field crew and technical assistance supported.

The NGF acquires MT data including: EarthScope MT Arrays operating
across the continental US on a 70 kilometer grid; MOCHA onshore-offshore
MT experiment imaging the segmentation of the Cascadia continental
margin and constraining fluid distribution above the Juan de Fuca/Gorda
Plate; iMUSH AMT experiment imaging the details of the magmatic system
beneath Mount St. Helens, Adams, and Rainier volcanoes; and their
relationship to the Southern Washington Cascades Conductor crustal
anomaly. Other field campaigns are planned.

The NGF is involved with offshore EM field measurements supporting the
wave energy power industry and marine EM surveys using NGF-designed
instruments taking place in 2014 and 2015. The RAPD(s) have the option
of becoming involved in one or more of these projects. Continued funding
for the position(s) may extend beyond initial appointment.

The NGF is located within OSU's College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric
Sciences and internationally recognized as a leader in the study of the
Earth as an integrated system with cutting edge laboratories and
computing facilities, a budget of more than $50 million, 140 faculty,
220 graduate and 700 undergraduate students.


Qualifications:

• Doctorate (PhD) in geophysics, physics, mathematics, geosciences,
electronic engineering or a closely related field.

• Understanding of geophysical forward and inverse modeling.

• Proficiency in written and spoken English.

• Demonstrated skills in computer modeling including generation of
source code in high level computer languages, algorithm development.

• Familiarity with electromagnetic, seismic or potential fields methods.

• The ability to lift/carry/push/pull objects weighing over 40 pounds
(18 kg) is required.

• The flexibility to work an adaptable schedule during fieldwork.


When applying you will be required to attach the following electronic
documents:

1) A resume/CV that includes the names of at least three professional
references, their e-mail addresses and telephone contact numbers.
(Upload as 'Other Document' if not included with your resume/vitae).

2) A cover letter indicating how your qualifications and experience have
prepared you for this position.

OSU is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer.


University and Community:

OSU is one of only two American universities to hold the Land-, Sea-,
Sun- and Space-Grant designations and is the only Oregon institution
recognized for its “very high research activity” (RU/VH) by the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The university is comprised
of 11 academic colleges with strengths in natural resources, Earth
dynamics and sustainability, life sciences, entrepreneurship and the
arts and sciences. OSU has facilities and/or programs in every county in
the state, including 12 regional experiment stations, 41 county
extension offices, a branch campus in Bend, a major marine science
center in Newport and a range of programs and facilities in Portland. It
is Oregon’s largest public research university, conducting more than 60
percent of the research funded throughout the state’s university system.
OSU is located in Corvallis, a community of 53,000 people situated in
the Willamette Valley between Portland and Eugene. Ocean beaches, lakes,
rivers, forests, high desert, the rugged Cascade and Coast Ranges and
the urban amenities of the Portland metropolitan area are all within a
100-mile drive of Corvallis. Approximately 15,700 undergraduate and
3,400 graduate students are enrolled at OSU, including 2,600 U.S.
students of color and 950 international students.
