We actively support this by providing all full-time staff employees with at least 80 hours (10 days) of paid time per year to engage in professional development activities. Departmental Overview
The Berkeley Seismology Lab (BSL) operates a large seismic and geophysical network across northern California to collect, analyze, and archive data for earthquake monitoring, early warning and scientific research. In collaboration with the USGS Earthquake Management Project, the BSL jointly operates the northern California component of the USGS Advanced National Seismic System to provide public earthquake information, earthquake early warnings (ShakeAlert system/MyShake app), and long-term earthquake monitoring. BSL operates a network of continuous real-time data collection from remote geophysical stations to centralized processing and archival. Networking infrastructure ranges from routers and switches to cellular modems and digital radios, across environments from data centers to last-mile telemetry. Data paths include cellular, radio, microwave, WiFi, Ethernet, and VPN tunnels. This position ensures the performance and resiliency of networking infrastructure vital to earthquake early warning, monitoring and research. This is a 100% FTE, 2-year contract with the possibility for extension and/or conversion to career based on available funding. Responsibilities
