Job Description

Senior Computational Geophysicist

(Electromagnetic and/or potential fields methods)

Role Overview

Title: Senior Computational Geophysicist

Hours: Full-Time, Salaried

Location: Salt Lake City, UT, Hybrid (3 days in office, 2 days can be remote)

Benefits Eligible: Yes

Manager: Head of Reservoir R&D

Mission — Why We Exist and Why We Need You

Geothermal energy is the most abundant renewable energy source on Earth—containing ~2,300× more

energy than all fossil fuels combined. Yet despite this enormous potential, geothermal has historically

been difficult, slow, and expensive to discover and develop.

At Zanskar, we are transforming geothermal exploration by combining geophysics, geology, and AI-driven

modeling to dramatically increase discovery rates and reduce development risk. We operate at scale and

at speed, setting new industry standards for how geothermal prospects are identified and de-risked.

To support this mission, we are hiring a Senior Computational Geophysicist with deep, hands-on

experience in electromagnetic and/or potential fields methods who can take real field data from active

geothermal sites and turn it into defensible subsurface interpretations. This role is fundamentally about

streamlining and automating inversion workflows that incorporate structural, lithological, and hydrothermal

constraints: ensuring models reflect geological reality, not just a mathematical best-fit.
