Role you're checking

Seismologist

Research

Seismologists in India work inside government labs and academia to locate earthquakes in real time, operate broadband seismic networks, and translate waveform data into hazard products that underpin NDMA zoning maps and dam-safety clearances. The three primary employers are the National Centre for Seismology (NCS, under MoES, New Delhi) which operates the 115-station BBSN and issues all official Mw bulletins; the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism (IIG, Mumbai/Alibag) for crustal studies and geomagnetic hazard; and CSIR-NGRI Hyderabad for applied seismics, reservoir-induced seismicity (Koyna reservoir), and hydrocarbon exploration tie-ins. IIT-Roorkee Earthquake Engineering Department (one of the world's oldest) is the dominant academic employer for seismic hazard, strong-motion networks (PESMOS), and PhD training. Entry requires at minimum M.Sc. or M.Tech. in Geophysics, Applied Geology, or Earthquake Engineering; NCS and CSIR-NGRI scientist posts mandatorily require a PhD or a PhD in progress at the time of interview.
