Auto-ApplyPostdoctoral Fellow I
Scientist job in Logan, UT
The Department of Geosciences at Utah State University (USU) seeks a full-time postdoctoral researcher to join the NSF-supported project Bridging Geoscience and Engineering to Interrogate Seismic Cycle Processes in the Earthquake Critical Zone (FRES). This position will be supervised by Dr. Alexis Ault and will involve close collaboration with other project PIs and teams at USU (Srisharan Shreedharan, Brady Cox, Dennis Newell), Brown University (Greg Hirth), and California State University Fullerton (Sinan Akciz), as well as collaborators based in Turkey and faculty in USU's broader Earthquake Science Group.
The successful candidate will bring innovative approaches to connect earthquake geology, geochemistry, and mechanics to investigate the earthquake critical zone - the upper ~1 km of faults where earthquake energy, fluids, rocks, humans, and infrastructure intersect to drive seismic hazard. Research will focus on the southern San Andreas fault and the Mw7.6 Elbistan earthquake surface rupture in Turkey, two systems at different points in the earthquake cycle. The postdoc will integrate field-based and experimental observations to advance understanding of deformation in the shallow portion of active faults, shallow rupture dynamics, and interseismic deformation.
Review of applications will begin on December 19th, 2025, and the position will remain open until filled. For further information, contact the search committee chair, Dr. Alexis Ault (*******************).
This position is part of a three-postdoc cluster hire within the Earthquake Science Group, which also includes positions led by Dr. Kelian Dascher-Cousineau (****************************************************************** and Dr. Srisharan Shreedharan (*******************************************************************
Applicants may apply for more than one position if their research background is relevant. In such cases, please either:
Submit separate application documents for each position, or
Clearly state in your research statement that you wish to be considered for multiple roles.
This is a 12-month, full-time position with benefits. Funding is available for two years, with renewal after year 1 contingent on satisfactory progress toward research goals.
Responsibilities
Develop and carry out independent and collaborative research, making use of field, laboratory, and/or analytical approaches, to investigate to processes and interactions in the earthquake critical zone.
Leverage USU's state-of-the-art research facilities including but not limited to the Rock Deformation and Earthquake Mechanics Laboratory, Mineral Microscopy and Spectroscopy Laboratory, and Microscopy Core Facility.
Engage and collaborate with a team of Earth scientists and engineers at USU and partner institutions.
Mentor and collaborate with graduate and undergraduate students engaged in the project at USU and partner institutions.
Disseminate research through presentations at scientific meetings and publications in peer-reviewed journals.
Qualifications

College/Department Highlights
The Department of Geosciences, housed within the S.J. & Jessie E. Quinney College of Agriculture & Natural Resources at Utah State University, is an energetic and rapidly expanding hub for Earth-science scholarship with 16 faculty and two lecturers. Our state-of-the-art infrastructure includes the Rock Deformation and Fault Mechanics laboratory, Luminescence Lab, light stable isotope and ICP-MS analytical suites, Mineral Microscopy and Spectroscopy Lab housing a Raman spectrometer, a field-emission scanning electron microscope in the Microscopy Core facility, and a micro-CT scanner. Within this framework, our Earthquake Science Group drives integrative research that spans fault rock characterization, laboratory friction experiments, remote sensing, seismology, numerical and data-driven modeling, and thermochronometry. This core focus on earthquake mechanics and hazard processes positions our department as a natural partner in seismic research and resilience efforts across Utah and beyond. Our department is well positioned to forge deep partnerships with the Utah Earthquake Engineering Research Center (UEEC) in Civil & Environmental Engineering. The UEEC, launched in 2023 with a mission to advance Utah-specific seismic safety, retrofitting, and resilient infrastructure design, serves as a hub for engineering-geoscience integration.
The S.J. & Jessie E. Quinney College of Agriculture & Natural Resources provides a rich interdisciplinary environment, combining applied and fundamental perspectives on land, water, and environmental systems. The College has a historical legacy stretching back nearly a century and today offers a broad portfolio of graduate and undergraduate programs in areas such as geosciences, watershed sciences, ecology, soils, and environmental management. Because the geosciences faculty are embedded in this broader natural-resources context, there are strong avenues for crosscutting collaboration with adjacent units and allied centers.
