I would like to call your attention to a seismology/geophysics position
available at the National Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer, Alaska.

The position closes Thursday December 15.

We are looking for recent grads and post-grads with a background in
seismology in particular. The ideal candidate is someone with a passion
for operations and applied earthquake seismology. We are a highly
operational organization. This is not a research position. When we need
research done, it is very empirically based. We look for fast and reliable
solutions and improvements to our mission of providing timely tsunami
warnings, watches, advisories, and information statements to U.S.,
Canadian, and international coasts. Thousands of lives are at stake.

The person who loves and thrives in this position is someone who:
loves to serve,
enjoys the mission of issuing warnings to save lives,
loves locating earthquakes,
loves operations and empirical analyses to get the job done, and
seeks adventure.
Both situational awareness and the ability to make quick decisions are
important.

The National Tsunami Warning Center is part of the National Weather Service
and NOAA.

The small town of Palmer is about an hour north of Anchorage. We are
surrounded by mountains, including the Chugach Range with numerous peaks
from 4,000 to 13,000 feet. People here enjoy year-round sports.

The pay is good and after a year, it increases substantially. There is a
Cost of Living Allowance for Alaska. Relocation expenses are authorized.

This position is open to US Citizens or Nationals.

The position closes Thursday December 15. Please note that the job
application takes some time to complete.

The official job notice with application instructions can be found here:

If you would like to meet with me at the AGU in San Francisco, call the
Center at the number below and I will get back to you to arrange a time and
place to meet.

Sincerely,
Peggy Johnson
