Postdoc Holbrook

Virginia Tech is a public land-grant university, committed to teaching and learning, research, and outreach to the Commonwealth of Virginia, the nation, and the world. Building on its motto of Ut Prosim (that I may serve), Virginia Tech is dedicated to InclusiveVT-serving in the spirit of community, diversity, and excellence. We seek candidates who adopt and practice the Principles of Community, which are fundamental to our on-going efforts to increase access and inclusion, and to create a community that nurtures learning and growth for all of its members. Virginia Tech actively seeks a broad spectrum of candidates to join our community in preparing leaders for the world.

Position Summary:
The Department of Geosciences at Virginia Tech invites applicants for a postdoctoral position in near-surface geophysics. The successful candidate will conduct research on the "critical zone," the upper ~100 m beneath Earth's surface, using a combination of near-surface geophysical methods (seismic refraction, electromagnetic, and DC resistivity, among others). The successful candidate will be expected to conduct original research leading to publications, participate in geophysical field work, and contribute positively as a member of an interdisciplinary team.

Required Qualifications:
The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. in geophysics or a closely related field at the time of appointment. Demonstrated competence in near-surface geophysical instrumentation and methods (seismic, electrical, and/or electromagnetic) is required. In addition, evidence of research productivity in the form of peer-reviewed journal publications is required. Willingness to participate in geophysical field work in support of team goals is required.

Preferred Qualifications:
Preferred qualifications include 1) demonstrated capacity to work productively in collaborative and interdisciplinary teams; 2) knowledge of critical zone geophysics; 3) demonstrated history of applying geophysical techniques to problems in hydrology, chemical weathering or surface processes at the watershed or hill-slope scale; and 4) experience in analyzing airborne geophysical (electromagnetic) data.
