Potsdam, Deutschland Helmholtz Centre Potsdam Vollzeit
Reference Number 9634

Development of hierarchical monitoring strategies for induced seismicity

Are you seeking a Postdoc project at the interface between geoscience, machine learning and mathematics, with an application to the highly relevant topic of induced seismicity? Then a position in this project might be appealing to you. The aim of the project is the further development and optimization of hybrid artificial intelligence systems. A specific focus is on sparse data applications and the reliable incorporation of physical knowledge, to produce explainable models. The project focuses on the use of AI methods in procedures for determining sensitivities, uncertainties and an optimal experimental design. The topic of induced seismicity is important for the further development of technologies in the field of geothermal energy, resulting in a high social relevance of the project.

The Postdoc position is subject to approval by third-party funders.

Your responsibilities:

Development of new strategies to perform global sensitivity analysis using physics-based machine learning methods Integration of hierarchical surrogate models into traffic light systems for the monitoring of induced seismicity Further Development of the code basis Presentation of the results on conferences and publication in peer-reviewed journals

Your qualifications:

PhD degree in mathematics, computer science or geophysics or in related subjects  Experience in the field of induced seismicity, mathematics, or computer science Programming skills in Python/C++ as well as experience in the field of machine learning Good English language skills

What we offer:
