About the role

We're seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher in Passive Seismic Imaging to help advance how we image the subsurface using earthquakes and ambient noise.
Working alongside our exploration and R&D teams, you'll help convert passive seismic signals into actionable items: images of basement depth, and fault geometry, that improve how we characterize prospects.

Seismic Team Lead
However, historically it's been hard to find and expensive to develop.
Build velocity models and image basement depth, layering, and fault structure from passive arrays
Develop, benchmark, and refine passive seismic imaging methods
Manager: Seismic Team Lead
At Zanskar, we're using advanced technology to find and develop new geothermal resources that make baseload geothermal a cost-effective and vital contributor to a carbon-free energy future.
We are revolutionizing the exploration process, setting new industry standards for discovery rates by finding new prospects at an unprecedented scale and working to develop faster and cheaper with scale and reduced risk drilling.

Demonstrated research expertise in passive seismic methods such as ambient noise tomography or microseismic analysis, evidenced by peer-reviewed publications
Ability to translate research-stage methods into practical, decision-grade tools under real-world data and time constraints

Proficiency in scientific computing and reproducible workflows (e.g., Python, HPC), with version control (e.g., Git/GitHub) a plus
