The Earthquake Processes group at the Faculty of Geosciences is looking for a
Doctoral Researcher (m,f,x), for 3 years, 39.83 hours per week, TVL E13
The Earthquake Processes group uses observational approaches from seismology, geological structural features, and modeling approaches. It studies what causes earthquakes to start, what happens during the fault rupture process, and what influences how destructive they may be.
The Earthquake Processes working group is hiring a doctoral researcher to study earthquakes and fault strength in Atacama Fault System in the northern part of Chile. The ideal candidate will conduct research using a combination of existing creepmeter and seismic observations to study the interaction of slow and fast slip. We will use enhance signal detection techniques and statistical approaches to quantify the changes in earthquake source and statistical properties in space and time. The successful candidate should have proficient computational skills and experience in analyzing seismic ground motion and catalog data. During the three-year appointment, the candidate will have the opportunity to present their results at scientific conferences and to publish their results in peer-reviewed academic journals. In addition, they will have the opportunity to develop a professional network with the Geoforschungszentrum Potsdam and beyond, and to grow professionally from interactions within the larger international working group.

Your tasks:
Your tasks:
- Build an enhanced earthquake event catalog using new (machine-learning and matched-filter) techniques with seismic and creepmeter time series data
- Estimate earthquake source parameters, including double-difference relocated hypocenters and static stress drop
- Apply statistical and earthquake clustering approaches to investigate the evolution of earthquake properties in time and space and their relation to mapped geological structures and lithology
Required Qualifications:
- The scientific and technical qualifications to perform the above duties would require a Master’s degree in geophysics, seismology, or a related field, programming knowledge in Python or Julia, and experience in seismic data and time-series analysis. The successful candidate will also have proficient written and verbal communication skills in scientific English, and will be expected to collaborate with international scientific partners on scientific objectives and field logistics.
Desired Qualifications:
- The ideal candidate should be willing to work in a collaborative, collegial environment that includes cooperation with researchers within the institute, other researchers within Germany (GFZ, Potsdam), as well as international partners, and be willing to learn and implement novel research approaches.
Our offerings:
- Challenging and varied tasks with a high level of personal responsibility
- Team-oriented cooperation in a committed, international and appreciative team
- Support in balancing family and career/academia (including childcare arrangements, vacation offers, mobile nursery)
- Discounts on season tickets for local transport companies, bike rental systems and bike purchases
- Opportunity to complete a doctoral dissertation

The Ruhr-Universität Bochum is one of Germany’s leading research universities, addressing the whole range of academic disciplines. A highly dynamic setting enables researchers and students to work across the traditional boundaries of academic subjects and faculties. To create knowledge networks within and beyond the university is RUB’s declared aim.
The Ruhr-Universität Bochum stands for diversity and equal opportunities. For this reason, we favour a working environment composed of heterogeneous teams, and seek to promote the careers of individuals who are underrepresented in our respective professional areas. The Ruhr-Universität Bochum expressly requests job applications from women. In areas in which they are underrepresented they will be given preference in the case of equivalent qualifications with male candidates. Applications from individuals with disabilities are most welcome.
