Job description
The Swiss Seismological Service (SED) at the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences (D-EAPS) is seeking a motivated doctoral student to work at the intersection of statistical seismology and machine learning. This position is part of two EU-funded projects: GeoTwins, which focuses on creating digital twins for geothermal systems, and Earth-AID, which aims to develop an AI-powered decision-support system for geohazards. The position will contribute to advancing earthquake forecasting and risk management and improve our ability to mitigate induced seismicity in real time.
