DIRECTOR, PACIFIC NORTHWEST
SEISMIC NETWORK
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON
The University of Washington (UW) seeks an
energetic and visionary leader to become Direc-
tor of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network
(PNSN). The tenured faculty position within the
Dept. of Earth & Space Sciences is expected to
be at the rank of associate or full professor. The
Director will advance the mission of the PNSN
(https://pnsn.org/about/mission) through scien-
tific pursuits, advocacy, and effective leadership.
Operational and managerial duties with the PNSN
will be shared or divided among existing faculty
and staff.
As part of the Advanced National Seismic Sys-
tem, the PNSN is the authoritative regional seismic
monitoring network in the states of Washington
and Oregon. It is a collaboration of the UW, the
University of Oregon, and the US Geological Sur-
vey. Currently there are 15 FTE PNSN staff posi-
tions at the UW. With a current annual budget of
approximately 4 million dollars, PNSN staff oper-
ate more than 300 seismic stations in the Pacific
Northwest, and make and distribute earthquake
alerts, earthquake catalogs, ground motion maps,
and earthquake early warnings (ShakeAlert). The
network also monitors seismicity at the region’s
9 high-threat active volcanoes, and has provided
critical data for studies of abundant regional non-
volcanic tremor.
The Director is expected to maintain a vigor-
ous externally funded research program and to
demonstrate a commitment to both undergraduate
and graduate teaching. The successful candidate
will have: research expertise in geophysics or
related discipline and evidence of an innovative
and collaborative research portfolio; skills at men-
toring staff and students; the ability to communi-
cate effectively to a broad range of stakeholders,
including politicians, corporate partners, funding
agencies and foundations, the media, the pub-
lic, and students; and the ability to identify new
opportunities, pursue funding, and facilitate proj-
ect management.
This is a 100% FTE, multi-year, 9-month service
period position with six months of state funded
support and three months of salary support from
PNSN operations. The accompanying admin-
istrative appointment as Director of PNSN is a
12-month appointment that provides an additional
3 months of salary support at 100% FTE. Teaching
duties are expected to be 2 courses per year.
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. or foreign equiva-
lent in Geophysics or similar field, with a prefer-
ence towards seismology. All University of Wash-
ington faculty engage in teaching, research and
service. The UW promotes diversity and inclu-
sivity among our students, faculty, and staff and
the public; we seek applicants who are committed
to these principles. Thus, we are strongly seek-
ing candidates whose research, teaching, and/or
service have not only prepared them to fulfill our
commitment to inclusion, but have also given them
the confidence to fully engage audiences in higher
education from a wide spectrum of backgrounds.
