The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is seeking to fill one of its most
critical leadership positions: The *Senior Science Advisor for Earthquake
and Geologic Hazards* is a Senior Level (SL) position, coordinating the
Earthquake Hazards Program (EHP), Geomagnetism Program, and the USGS
portion of the Global Seismographic Network (GSN). These programs, which
collectively had an appropriated budget of about $92 million in fiscal year
2018, fund work at regionally-managed USGS science centers, as well as by
university and state partners. The EHP and GSN represent the USGS
contributions to the four-agency National Earthquake Hazards Reduction
Program (NEHRP), which was recently reauthorized by Congress. The USGS
Geomagnetism Program is the USGS contribution to the multi-agency National
Space Weather Program.

The Senior Science Advisor also has broad responsibility within the USGS
Natural Hazards Mission Area to guide the breadth of USGS geologic hazards
work, ensuring strong coordination with the activities supported by our
volcano, landslide and coastal/marine programs along with the many other
hazard-related activities supported throughout the Survey. In addition to
internal program management responsibilities, the Senior Science Advisor is
an ambassador for the USGS to our many partners and stakeholders in the US
and around the world.
