Position description

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) is seeking an Assistant Project Scientist to develop non-ergodic ground-motion models using combined data from 3-D numerical simulations, empirical ground-motion data sets and macroseismic intensity data that capture path effects due to the 3-D velocity structure. The Assistant Project Scientist will work with Prof. Norman Abrahamson at UC Berkeley and collaborate with developers of 3-D ground-motion simulations at the USGS, Southern California Earthquake Center, LNBL, and at universities in Taiwan and Japan. The goal is to develop a methodology for combining synthetic data from 3-D simulations from a limited number of scenarios with existing empirically based ground-motion models and apply the method to data from multiple regions to develop fully non-ergodic ground-motions that can be used in probabilistic seismic hazard analyses.

The successful candidate will develop statistical modeling approaches for developing non-ergodic ground-motion models that that is applicable to combined data sets with empirical ground-motion data, 3-D simulation data, and macroseismic intensity data and conduct trial applications of the method to data set from different regions. The candidate will also assist in conducting trail applications of seismic hazard calculations using the models developed.

The candidate will be responsible for outreach with seismic hazard researchers at the USGS to demonstrate the methodology. The candidate will be responsible for documentation of the results through journal papers and presenting the results at scientific conferences.
