Brief description of the General Functions of the position:

• Conduct seismic hazard analysis, including the evaluation of ground shaking (GS), Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA), and Earthquake Intensity Scale (PEIS) parameters
• Collaborate with GIS specialists to develop regional seismic hazard maps for earthquake-induced landslide (EIL) assessments
• Analyze seismic wave propagation, topographic amplification, and site response using deterministic models such as the Spectral Element Method (SEM) and Newmark’s sliding block analysis
• Process and interpret seismic data from fieldwork and external datasets, ensuring accuracy for hazard modeling
• Integrate seismic data into Physics-Enhanced Machine Learning (PEML) workflows to improve predictive models for EIL hazards
• Conduct field surveys to collect data on seismic activities and their effects on local geomorphology and geotechnical conditions
• Work with remote sensing and geotechnical teams to assess earthquake-triggered landslides and validate hazard maps
• Participate in capacity-building activities, including training sessions and workshops for local government units (LGUs) and stakeholders
• Prepare technical reports, hazard models, and contributions to academic publications
• Oversee and explore integration of research results with PHIVOLCS systems and workflows
• Must be willing to relocate at PHIVOLCS, Quezon City, Philippines
