How much do geologist geophysicist jobs pay per year?

As of Sep 9, 2026, the average yearly pay for geologist geophysicist in the United States is $77,030.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $56,000.00 and $93,000.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a geologist geophysicist?

To thrive as a Geologist Geophysicist, you need a solid background in earth sciences, geology, and physics, typically supported by a relevant degree such as geology, geophysics, or earth science. Proficiency with geophysical survey tools, GIS software, seismic interpretation systems, and possibly certifications like Professional Geologist (PG) or SEG membership are often required. Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and effective communication help professionals interpret data and convey findings clearly to diverse stakeholders. These skills are crucial for accurately assessing subsurface conditions, ensuring safety, and supporting resource exploration or environmental projects.

What are some typical challenges geologist geophysicists face when working on field projects?

Geologist Geophysicists often encounter challenges such as working in remote or harsh environments, dealing with unpredictable weather, and adapting to complex geological conditions. Collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, including engineers and environmental scientists, is essential to interpret data accurately and ensure project success. Effective communication and flexibility are key, as fieldwork schedules can change frequently due to logistical or environmental factors.

What is the difference between Geologist Geophysicist vs Geologist?

AspectGeologistGeophysicist
Required CredentialsBachelor's or higher in Geology or Earth SciencesBachelor's or higher in Geophysics or Earth Sciences
Work EnvironmentFieldwork, labs, officesFieldwork, labs, offices
Industry UsageMining, oil & gas, environmental consultingOil & gas, mineral exploration, environmental studies
Common Search & ComparisonYesYes

Both Geologists and Geophysicists study Earth's processes, but Geologists focus on rocks, minerals, and surface features, while Geophysicists analyze Earth's physical properties using seismic, magnetic, and gravitational data. They often work together in resource exploration and environmental projects, sharing similar credentials and work environments.

Job description

Role Overview

Title: Geophysicist I
Location: Salt Lake City, UT (hybrid)
Benefits Eligible: yes
Manager: Exploration Geophysics

Why we exist and why we need you

Geothermal energy is the most abundant renewable energy source in the world. However, historically it's been hard to find and expensive to develop. 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.

We're seeking a seismologist to image the subsurface using ambient noise. Working within our Exploration Geophysics team, you'll help convert passive seismic signals into actionable items: images of basement depth, and fault geometry, that can be jointly interpreted with additional geophysical techniques to inform a complete conceptual model for drilling geothermal resources.

Outcomes – Problems you'll solve
  • Build velocity models and image basement depth, layering, and fault structure from passive arrays
  • Locate and analyze microseismicity to map active faults, stress regimes, and structural controls
  • Develop, benchmark, and refine passive seismic imaging methods
  • Construct reproducible, well-documented processing pipelines (Python/ObsPy or equivalent) that scale to large datasets
  • Work with Exploration and R&D teams to integrate passive imaging into prospect evaluation
What we're looking for

Required

  • Ph.D. or Master’s degree (completed or near completion) in geophysics, seismology, or a closely related field
  • Demonstrated research expertise in passive seismic methods such as ambient noise tomography or microseismic analysis, evidenced by peer-reviewed publications
  • Strong foundation in seismic signal processing and inversion
  • Proficiency in scientific computing and reproducible workflows (e.g., Python, HPC), with version control (e.g., Git/GitHub)
  • Ability to translate research-stage methods into practical, decision-grade tools under real-world data and time constraints
  • Strong cross-disciplinary collaboration skills, able to communicate and integrate results effectively with geologists, geophysicists, engineers, and data scientists
Location and Benefits
  • The position is based out of our headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is a hybrid position
  • Benefits include:
    • Paid holidays
    • 18 days PTO + PTO accrual increase based on tenure
    • Medical, dental and vision coverage
    • 401k
    • Short term disability
    • Stock options
    • Growth opportunities at a company with a direct impact in displacing carbon emissions
Equal Opportunity Employer

Zanskar is committed to fostering an inclusive workplace and is an equal opportunity employer. We encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply and will provide reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities in accordance with applicable laws.
