How much do seismic imaging jobs pay per week?

As of Jul 30, 2026, the average weekly pay for seismic imaging in the United States is $2,025.71, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $1,663.46 and $2,365.38 per week, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is a Seismic Imaging job?

A Seismic Imaging job involves processing and interpreting seismic data to create detailed images of subsurface structures. Professionals use advanced computational techniques and geophysical principles to assist in oil and gas exploration, earthquake studies, and other geological investigations. This role typically requires expertise in seismic wave propagation, data analysis, and specialized software. Seismic imagers work closely with geophysicists and engineers to improve resource exploration and hazard assessment.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Seismic Imaging position, and why are they important?

To excel in Seismic Imaging, you need a solid background in geophysics or related fields, with experience in seismic data processing and interpretation. Familiarity with specialized software such as Petrel, Kingdom Suite, or SeisWorks, as well as knowledge of seismic acquisition systems, is typically required. Strong analytical thinking, effective communication, and the ability to work collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams are valuable soft skills. These competencies are essential because accurate seismic imaging directly informs critical decisions about energy exploration, resource management, and risk assessment.

What does a typical workday look like for someone in seismic imaging?

A typical workday for a seismic imaging professional involves processing and analyzing seismic data, interpreting subsurface structures, and collaborating with geologists, engineers, and project managers. You'll often use advanced software tools to create detailed visualizations of underground formations and participate in team meetings to discuss findings and guide exploration strategies. Field work may occasionally be required to support data acquisition, but most tasks are office-based with data-driven workflows. This role offers variety, continuous learning, and the chance to make a tangible impact on large-scale energy and infrastructure projects.

Job description

Postdoctoral Researcher - Passive Seismic Imaging


Location: Salt Lake City, UT (hybrid)
Benefits Eligible: yes
Salary: $85k - $95k
Manager: Seismic Team Lead

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 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.

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 the exploration and R&D teams to integrate passive imaging into prospect evaluation
What we're looking for

Required

  • Ph.D. (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) a plus
  • 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 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 
  • Life insurance + Short term & Long term disability
  • Growth opportunities at a company with a direct impact in displacing carbon emissions
Equal Opportunity Employer
 
Zanskar is an equal-opportunity employer and complies with all applicable federal, state, and local fair employment practice laws.
