Postdoctoral Researcher in Fiber Optics and Passive Seismics in urban areas
Helmholtz Centre Potsdam – GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences
The Helmholtz Centre Potsdam – GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences is the national centre for geosphere research. As a member of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres we are part of the largest scientific organization in Germany. With approximately 1,500 employees our key mission is to secure a profound understanding of the systems and processes of solid Earth, to develop strategies and options for action in addressing global change and its impacts on a regional level, to understand natural hazards and to minimize associated risks, to ensure the sustainable provision of energy and raw materials for a high-tech society and to evaluate the influence of human activity on system Earth.

The Fiber-optics working group at the Geophysical Imaging section at the Helmholtz Centre Potsdam (GFZ Potsdam) has an opening for a 3-year postdoc position to work with Verónica Rodríguez Tribaldos, Charlotte Krawczyk and the rest of the Fiber-optics team on developing and validating advanced computational tools for the analysis of ambient seismic noise data recorded along existing telecommunication fibers in urban areas using Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS). This position is part of the InDySE project (Interrogating the Dynamic Shallow Earth), which aims at developing next-generation urban monitoring platforms for investigating near-surface structure and processes associated with geohazards and sustainable development in populated areas. The project will involve developing and implementing efficient processing tools using existing urban DAS datasets, but also participating in the design and conduction of a new field experiment.
