Geology Position Advertisement

I am still in the field, with a bad wifi connection, and am sending this via email - I don't know how it will look or format.

I just received the job announcement described below, and thought it might possibly be of some interest to some who wants to work in Utah. The first position requires either an advanced degree or previous experience in geologic hazards mapping or assessment. If you have done this kind of thing even as a student in classes, it would be worth looking into, especially if you have a good recommendation from your professors.

The geologist will assist and perform mapping of geology and geologic hazards using GIS, assist cities and counties in using geologic hazard information, and perform site investigations, technical reviews, emergency response, and other duties. Geologic hazards will typically involve landslide, debris flow, problem soil, and paleoseismic hazards. The preferred candidate will have a working knowledge of GIS (ArcGIS 9+) analysis and map production, an advanced degree, and/or previous experience in geologic hazards assessment, mapping, and analysis. The geologist position announcement closes on May 1, 2008.

Project Geologist:

The project geologist will lead geologic hazard mapping projects in selected areas, assist cities and counties in using geologic hazard information, and perform site investigations, technical reviews, emergency response, and other duties. Geologic hazards will typically involve landslide, debris flow, problem soil, and paleoseismic hazards. The preferred candidate will have an advanced degree, experience in engineering and Quaternary geology, geologic hazards assessment, mapping, and analysis, remote sensing, and/or a working knowledge of GIS (ArcGIS 9+) analysis and map production. A Utah Professional Geologist (PG) license is required within 1 year of appointment. The project geologist position closes on May 12, 2008.
