One (1) PROJECT TECHNICAL SPECIALIST I

 

Project title: MACHINE LEARNING OF PHYSICS-BASED EARTHQUAKE-INDUCED LANDSLIDE PARAMETERS AND FOR EFFICIENT PREDICTION AND WARNING IN THE PHILIPPINES (ML-PREP Project)

 

Employment status: Contract of Service Staff (COSS)

 

Contract Duration: Until 1st Semester of 2027, subject to Performance Evaluation every 6 months

 

Monthly Salary: Php52,272.00 /month

 

Educational Background

  1. Minimum: Bachelor’s degree in Geotechnical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Geological Engineering, Mathematics or a closely related field. Preferred: Master’s degree in Mathematics, Geotechnical or Civil Engineering with a specialization in soil mechanics or slope stability.
  2. Preferred: Master’s degree in Geotechnical or Civil Engineering with a specialization in soil mechanics or slope stability.

 

Duties and Responsibilities

  • Conduct geotechnical analysis for earthquake-induced landslide (EIL) hazard modeling, including slope stability and soil mechanics studies
  • Perform field investigations, including soil sampling, borehole logging, and geophysical surveys
  • Analyze geotechnical properties such as cohesion, friction angle, unit weight, and soil saturation for hazard modeling
  • Contribute to the preparation of Soil-Morphology Maps by integrating geotechnical data with GIS-based models
  • Support deterministic modeling, including Newmark’s method, to calculate critical acceleration and factor of safety
  • Develop and optimize geotechnical workflows and parameters for accurate hazard mapping
  • Participate in preparing technical reports, hazard maps, and presentations for stakeholders, including LGUs and DRRM planners
  • Assist in capacity-building activities, including workshops and training on geotechnical and seismic hazard assessment methods
  • Maintain field and laboratory equipment, ensuring proper usage during geotechnical surveys
  • Oversee and explore integration of research results with PHIVOLCS systems and workflows
  • Must be willing to relocate at PHIVOLCS, Quezon City, Philippines

 

Experience/Training/Competencies:

  • Preferably a licensed professional with at least 1-2 years of relevant expertise in engineering geology, or civil or geotechnical engineering
  • Hands-on experience in slope stability analysis, soil testing, or seismic hazard assessments is an advantage.
  • Proficiency in geotechnical software (e.g., GeoStudio, Plaxis, Slide) for slope stability and soil analysis
  • Familiarity with deterministic models, such as Newmark’s sliding block analysis
  • Experience with GIS tools for integrating geotechnical data into spatial models
  • Knowledge of geophysical survey techniques and equipment, such as seismic refraction and resistivity testing
  • Basic programming skills (e.g., Python, R) for integrating geotechnical data into ML workflows.
