USGS Mendenhall Postdoctoral Fellowship opportunity 15-8
Characterizing earthquake ground motions in the San Francisco Bay Area

We seek a postdoctoral fellow to conduct research using earthquake 
ground motions, ambient noise, active source experiments, 3-D earth 
structure models, and 3-D ground-motion simulations to quantify how 
various processes affect strong ground motion in the San Francisco Bay 
Area. The research scope encompasses a variety of possible research 
topics and areas of focus, including, but not limited to, improving the 
USGS Bay Area 3-D Seismic Velocity Model throughout the Bay Area via 
integrated analysis of geophysical and seismic data sets, quantification 
of fault zone amplification and its implications for seismic hazard 
assessments, and characterization of rupture effects, basin 
amplification, and site effects on earthquake shaking in the Napa and 
Sonoma areas.
