The Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, invites applications for a newly created research position in the Planetary Interiors and Geophysics Group. The research will involve lunar seismology, specifically working with existing lunar seismic data, and interpreting highly scattered signals. The researcher will refine science requirements and define basic data processing and archiving processes for the upcoming Farside Seismic Suite (FSS). They will also perform detailed computational modeling of highly scattered lunar seismic data and compare to existing Apollo seismic data in order to refine techniques for extracting observations to constrain the lunar interior. They will prepare for future mission opportunities by investigating both single-station and networked approaches to locating lunar seismicity and formulating the scientific requirements for future terrestrial planet missions that contain a seismologic element.
Applicants should have a well-established record in lunar seismology. It is expected that the successful candidate will develop an independently funded research program.
