Geologist - WSP
WSP is currently initiating a search for a Geologist in our Pittsburgh, PA office. The work will primarily consist of the practice of geology and/or hydrogeology for safety related subsurface investigations in support of new nuclear power plants. You will serve as a technical professional for in-depth investigations of the geologic profile and aquifers. Responsible for SME innovation and administration; ensuring corporate compliance with all Local, State, and Federal environmental and safety regulations; and providing direction to address current and future environmental challenges in a rapidly changing and complex business climate.

PhD Positions in Physics, Geophysics, & Geodesy - RING Project, Germany
We would like to draw your attention to the 4-year RING project recently funded by the German Research Foundation (extendable to 8 years).
Successful candidates will have the opportunity to join a vibrant, multidisciplinary team formed by 14 PhD students, one postdoc, the lead and associate scientists tackling various science questions in the unique environment of the RING research unit in the fields of laser physics, geodesy, geophysics, hydrology, and seismology.
The project aims at pushing the sensitivity and stability limits of rotational motion sensing with ring laser technology into new realms using approaches from quantum optics and metrology. The ultimate goal is to enable ring laser observations as a complement to classic space-geodetic methods towards more precise, high-rate estimation of Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP). This will lead to a better understanding what affects polar motion and length-of-day variations on small time scales. Furthermore, we plan to develop (trans-) portable ring lasers fit for weak, broadband 6 degree-of-freedom ground motion observations towards better understanding of atmosphere-solid Earth coupling (also relevant for seismic decoupling of gravitational wave detection facilities).
