As a UW employee, you have a unique opportunity to change lives on our campuses, in our state and around the world. UW employees offer their boundless energy, creative problem solving skills and dedication to build stronger minds and a healthier world.

UW faculty and staff also enjoy outstanding benefits, professional growth opportunities and unique resources in an environment noted for diversity, intellectual excitement, artistic pursuits and natural beauty.

Earth and Space Sciences has an outstanding opportunity for a Web Application Developer to support our real-time seismic monitoring projects.

Housed in the Department of Earth and Space Sciences, the PNSN monitors earthquakes in the states of Washington and Oregon for public safety and scientific research. We operate approximately 500 remote seismic stations throughout the region. Data from these remote sites are transmitted, continuously in real time, to our processing and alerting center at the UW Seattle campus. The data are processed through several applications to provide a series of products, including real-time warnings of imminent shaking (called ShakeAlertTM Earthquake Early Warning), earthquake locations and sizes, distribution of strong shaking, and raw data archived for scientific and engineering studies. As a Web Application Developer with the PNSN, you will work within a small team of scientists, software engineers, and computer specialists at the PNSN to build both public facing and internal websites and applications.
