Seismology Research Specialist

The position falls under the Earthquake and Geodynamics department, which is responsible for the processing, analysis, and research of earthquakes and deformation processes in the Earth's crust. The department processes measurement data, develops processing methods, and uses numerical simulations, among other things, to study the processes that control stress changes and movements in the Earth's crust. Furthermore, specialists in the department participate in natural hazard events as applicable, in interpretation and risk assessment. At the Icelandic Meteorological Office, a diverse and cohesive group of people works to enhance the safety and resilience of society against natural hazards and the effects of climate change.
