Geophysics Tenure-Track Assistant Professor

Geological Sciences, University of Delaware

The Department of Geological Sciences invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Geophysics. The position will be at the assistant professor level, although exceptional candidates at the associate level will be considered. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, tectonics, geomechanics, observational seismology, and geodynamics. We are interested in a broad range of expertise, but candidates whose research focuses on lithospheric structure and evolution, plate boundary tectonics, earthquake physics, fault system growth and evolution, or mantle dynamics are especially encouraged. We seek a colleague who will complement and build on existing strengths in geosciences at the University. The successful candidate is expected to build an externally funded research program, to be committed to effective teaching and mentoring at all levels, and to contribute to the academic life of the Department and University.

Applicants should submit a cover letter with a list of references, a curriculum vitae, and separate research, teaching, and diversity statements using the University of Delaware online application system at www.interfolio.com. The candidate must have completed a doctoral program by the time of appointment. Review of applications will begin on October 22, 2018, and will continue until the position is filled. Inquiries regarding this position may be addressed to the committee chair, Professor Jessica Warren (warrenj@udel.edu).

The Department of Geological Sciences resides within the College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment. The University is a Sea Grant, Space Grant, and Land Grant Institution. Resources available include a new High-Performance Computing community cluster, the Keck Center for Advanced Microscopy and Microanalysis, the Disaster Research Center, and marine facilities on the Lewes campus. The Department is located on the main campus in Newark, midway between Philadelphia and Baltimore. The University is the recipient of a National Science Foundation ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Grant focused on enhancing the climate of the University for women STEM faculty.
