Job description

We are looking for a new colleague at NORSAR to work on detection seismology, machine learning, and DAS. The role offers the opportunity to work with world-leading seismic array data and advanced DAS facilities.

We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in detection seismology, signal processing, machine learning, or related quantitative methods.

This is an exciting opportunity combining research and operational monitoring, with relevance to nuclear explosion monitoring and CTBT verification. It is a chance to work on ground-breaking science and to help develop methods that matter in practice.

We welcome applications from both early-career researchers with strong potential and more established scientists with an international track record. NORSAR offers a welcoming and collegiate workplace, where colleagues share expertise openly and support one another’s development.
