Geophysicist: Field MT/CSAMT & 2D/3D Inversion

Phase2 Technology; Tucson (AZ); On-site; USD 59,000 - 74,000; Full time

Job summary

Arizona Geological Survey invites applications for Geophysicist (Researcher/Scientist III). The role focuses on magnetotelluric data collection, CSAMT surveys, gravity and seismic methods to develop 2D/3D subsurface models in Arizona.

You will lead field campaigns, process datasets, and integrate large datasets for energy-resource characterization. You should have a Master’s degree in Geology or related field with at least three years of experience, strong Python data analysis, and MT expertise.

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Geology or a related field AND a minimum of three years of relevant work experience.
• Experience with data analysis in Python.
• Experience processing S-EGY, mSEED, or other time-series geophysical datasets.
• Experience post-processing magnetotelluric datasets.
• Experience interpreting MT datasets.

Responsibilities

• Design, permit, and manage field-based geophysical data collection campaigns in challenging Arizona terrain, with emphasis on MT data and/or CSAMT collection.
• Perform quality control and troubleshoot geophysical equipment.
• Conduct fieldwork individually and as part of a team to accomplish scientific tasks in support of the Geophysics and Energy Geology Groups.
• Process geophysical datasets, with specific emphasis in MT, and generate 2D/3D inversion models.
• Create and manage large geologic and geophysical datasets in multiple projects related to energy resources and subsurface geology in Arizona.
• Aid in field deployments for passive seismic systems and help maintain the AZGS broadband seismic network.
• Participate in writing proposals for external funding from federal and state agencies and private partners.
• May lead or co-lead development of proposals.
• Will co-author geologic maps, models, technical reports, and peer-reviewed scientific papers and will give public and scientific presentations.
