Seismology Intern Position - DAS Processing

discovering geothermal energy faster with big data

Geothermal energy is the heat below our feet that’s stored in rock and circulated by fluids. In special geologic cases, that heat is highly concentrated at shallow depths in high enough quantities (think of the Old Faithful Geyser at Yellowstone National Park) that it can be tapped for power generation. At Zanskar, we’re laser focused on developing and commercializing new exploration technologies to make geothermal scalable and a vital contributor to a fully carbon-free electricity grid. 

Zanskar is a geothermal exploration and technology company accelerating the transition to carbon-free electricity generation by identifying and characterizing new geothermal resources for development. Zanskar is a team composed of geoscientists, data scientists and seismologists focused on building new geothermal exploration and development tools. Zanskar is based in the Salt Lake City, UT metro area and partners with independent geothermal power plant developers and operators. Zanskar has received financial backing from a syndicate of investors, including Union Square Ventures, Lowercarbon Capital, Prime Impact Fund, MunichRe Ventures, Safar Partners, and First Star Ventures. 

Zanskar has an opportunity for a Seismology intern to build more efficient and effective filters for DAS (Distributed Acoustic Sensing) data using deep learning methods. This position will be started as an intern position, but potentially be turned to full-time depending on performance and project status. This work is expected to start from January, 2023 and continue for 3-6 months. This Seismology intern will work with the seismology team at Zanskar, as well as project partners at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL).

Zanskar is an equal opportunity employer and complies with all applicable federal, state, and local fair employment practice laws.
