[ANSS-netops] Seismic Network Technician positions available at the USGS in Menlo Park

[Gee, Lind]

The US Geological Survey (USGS), Earthquake Monitoring Project (EMP), has 3
open positions for Physical Science Technicians within the Northern
California Seismic Network (NCSN). The positions are located in Menlo Park,
California.


The USGS Earthquake Monitoring Project works in collaboration with the UC
Berkeley Seismological Laboratory for recording and monitoring seismic
activity in Northern California.  The NCSN consists of approximately 600
stations, dedicated telemetry systems, and numerous real-time, analysis and
notification computer systems.  The EMP also oversees the National Strong
Motion Project, which installs and operates instrumentation in structures
such as buildings, dams, and bridges whose response to strong shaking is of
interest to the engineering community.


The Physical Science Technician incumbents are responsible for the design,
installation, operation, and maintenance of the field equipment of the
NCSN. This work is performed in collaboration with USGS and other partner
personnel. The incumbents are responsible for a wide variety of equipment
used for seismic monitoring, data acquisition, power, computer networking,
and communications. This equipment is located throughout northern and
central California, including at remote sites in a wide variety of
environments.


The selected employees will jump into an exciting work environment where
they will contribute to Earthquake Early Warning activities and the upgrade
and installation of new instrumentation, the expansion and upgrade of
volcano monitoring efforts, and an overhaul of the telemetry backbone of
the network.


If you are interested, apply online at https://www.usajobs.gov/.  More
detail about the positions is available there. Please be sure to submit all
the requested materials, including transcripts by May 30th 2018 – and do
