Dear colleagues,
I'd like to draw your attention to the following advertisement for two
junior faculty positions in geophysics at the University of Texas at Austin.
Cheers,
Steve
*Closing Date:* Until Filled
*Field of Specialization:* Geophysics
*Job Description: **Assistant Professor***
The Department of Geological Sciences in the Jackson School of
Geosciences at The University of Texas at Austin seeks to hire two
tenure-track faculty members in the field of geophysics at the Assistant
Professor level. We are looking for outstanding scientists who will
establish an innovative, externally-funded research program and will be
committed to education, including both teaching and mentoring at the
undergraduate and graduate levels. A Ph.D. is required by the expected
start date. For these positions, we seek individuals in two broad areas
of geophysics:
1) Solid Earth geophysics. Candidates with interest in lithospheric
problems (for example, earthquake physics, plate deformation and
evolution) and/or deep-Earth problems (for example, mantle and core
convection, seismic structure and composition of the deep Earth) are
encouraged to apply. Areas of specialization might include, but are not
limited to, geodynamics, seismology, geodesy, and mineral physics. The
scope of research may include the application of similar geophysical
studies to other planetary bodies.
2) Exploration geophysics. Candidates with specializations in reflection
seismic processing, imaging, interpretation, and inversion are
encouraged to apply. High-performance computational facilities are
available, and candidates would be encouraged to use them to image,
visualize, and interpret 3D and 4D geophysical data. Applicants with
specializations in near-surface geophysics are also encouraged to apply.
Successful candidates will engage with other geophysics faculty, staff,
and students to continue to grow a highly competitive energy research
portfolio.
The Department of Geological Sciences is part of the Jackson School of
Geosciences (JSG), which also includes two research units, the Institute
for Geophysics and the Bureau of Economic Geology. With over 190
research scientists and faculty, the JSG is one of the largest academic
earth science schools in the country. The University of Texas is also
home to the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC), an NSF XSEDE
facility for high performance computing.
*Applicant Instructions:*
Review of applications will begin February 15, 2014. All interested
applicants should submit a cover letter, CV, research statement,
teaching statement, a list of at least five individuals who would be
able to provide letters of reference, and up to five representative
publications via e-mail to dgs<at>jsg.utexas.edu. Questions concerning
receipt of application materials should be sent to dgs<at>jsg.utexas.edu.
