Dear Colleagues,
We are looking for a new faculty member to join the Geosciences Division at
Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego. Please see below for
details:
Faculty Position at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego -
Geology and Geophysics
Open date: November 7, 2022
Next review date: Tuesday, Jan 3, 2023 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time)
Apply by this date to ensure full consideration by the committee.
Final date: Friday, Jun 30, 2023 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time)
Applications will continue to be accepted until this date, but those
received after the review date will only be considered if the position has
not yet been filled.
The Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego invites
applications for a full-time 9-month tenure-track faculty position at the
level of Assistant Professor. We seek outstanding candidates who integrate
observations and methodologies from both geology and geophysics to address
Earth science questions in marine and/or terrestrial environments. We have
a particular interest in building on our current expertise in using
observations and quantitative analysis to advance the fields of
neotectonics, structural geology, paleoclimate, paleomagnetism,
thermochronology, hydrogeology, geomorphology, and margin and basin
evolution. We are also interested in research that contributes to a better
understanding of the impacts of geological and geophysical
processes—including those linked to weather and climate extremes—on
understudied people, communities, and nations. While we will consider
candidates working anywhere at the interface between geology and
geophysics, preference will be given to candidates whose research
complements the marine and sea-going strengths of Scripps. Additionally,
the successful candidate will be expected to teach in one or more of the
following areas: geochronology, geomorphology, marine geology,
sedimentology, and stratigraphy.
Scripps is dedicated to advancing belonging, equity, justice, and
accessibility for all who are or wish to be members of our community. We
welcome candidates who have had non-traditional career paths or who have
taken time off for family reasons (e.g., caring for children, the disabled,
or the elderly), or who have achieved excellence in careers outside
academia (e.g., in professional or industry service). Information about
Scripps' ongoing diversity efforts may be found here:
https://scripps.ucsd.edu/diversity. Successful candidates must demonstrate
a commitment to promoting belonging, accessibility, justice, equity,
diversity, and inclusion (BAJEDI) and a willingness to contribute to BAJEDI
in Scripps’ educational, research, and work environments.
The appointee is expected to develop and maintain a vigorous externally
funded research program and to teach at the undergraduate and graduate
levels in the UC San Diego Earth Science program. Supervision of graduate
students and service to the department, university, and broader discipline
are expected.
