This position is ideal for a recent graduate in Geophysics, Earth Sciences, Applied Physics, or a related field, with a strong interest in computational modelling and geoscientific data analysis.

This is a full-time research position with opportunities for skill development, potential graduate-level study, and participation in a collaborative research environment focused on earthquake processes and tectonics.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Assist in running numerical simulations of earthquake cycles using existing modelling tools and scripts

  • Perform data analysis on simulation results, including stress and slip evolution, and recurrence patterns

  • Generate scientific plots, figures, and tables for use in publications and presentations

  • Support code organization, documentation, and reproducibility of results

  • Work collaboratively with other researchers in the Computational Geophysics Lab

  • Participate in regular group meetings and contribute to general lab activities

Job Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in Geophysics, Earth Sciences, Applied Physics, or a related discipline

  • Basic experience in numerical modelling, geophysical data analysis, or computational earth sciences

  • Familiarity with Python and/or MATLAB for data analysis and visualization

  • Interest in earthquake physics, tectonics, or crustal deformation processes

  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail

  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team

ASE seeks a diverse and inclusive workforce and is committed to equality of opportunity. We welcome applications from all and recruit on the basis of merit, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, marital status, family responsibilities, or disability.
