(1) Assistant Professor position in geodynamics, University of California, Santa Barbara
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA BARBARA
DEPARTMENT OF EARTH SCIENCE
GEODYNAMICS
DEPARTMENT OF EARTH SCIENCE
GEODYNAMICS
The Department of Earth Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara, invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in the broad area of geodynamics, starting July 1, 2014. We seek an innovative geophysicist who investigates solid earth processes with modern geophysical data and simulation methods. Areas of technical expertise might be in geodesy, seismology, and numerical modeling, but are not limited to them. We particularly seek candidates who both complement our current research program and integrate across tectonics and geophysics.
The successful candidate is expected to develop a vigorous, externally funded research program, and supervise research by graduate and undergraduate students. A Ph.D. or an equivalent degree is required at the time of appointment.
Applicants should submit: a PDF containing a letter of application; their curriculum vitae; a description of teaching and research objectives and accomplishments; and the contact information of three referees who will provide letters. Applicants should request three referees to send letters of evaluation by November 1st, 2013. The application file and letters of reference should be submitted to https://recruit.ap.ucsb.edu.
Review of applications will begin November 1st, 2013. The position will remain open until filled, but to ensure full consideration, application materials should be submitted by this date.
The department is especially interested in candidates who contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching, and service.
UCSB is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer.
(2) Assistant/Associate/Full Professor in Coast Hazards, Louisiana State University
(Coastal Hazards Prediction and Mitigation)
Center for Computation and Technology
Louisiana State University
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), the Department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences (DOCS), and the Center for Computation & Technology (CCT) at Louisiana State University invite applications for four joint faculty positions in Coastal Hazards Prediction and Mitigation (CHAPM). We are seeking world-class leaders, exemplary mid-career scholars, and emerging junior scholars to join our dynamic, interdisciplinary research center that brings multiple departments and diverse faculty together to solve complex problems using computational sciences integrated with coastal engineering and science.
Departmental affiliations will be made as appropriate, and all positions are tenure-track.
Preference will be given to candidates committed to building interdisciplinary research teams that complement existing strengths among the faculty in CEE, DOCS and CCT. Candidates’ fields of interest should include one or more of the following:
– Hurricane-Induced Wind and Flood Hazards
– Tsunami Hazards
– Coastal Erosion Hazard
– Oil Spill and Hypoxia Hazards
– Computational Hydrodynamics and Hydraulics in the Coastal Environment
– Regional Climate Change
Required Qualifications: Successful candidates must possess a Ph.D. within their disciplines and distinguished records of research accomplishments and publications, as well as strong reputations in their disciplines, or the capacity to build the same in the case of emerging scholars. A history or potential to attract extramural funding and work with interdisciplinary teams that include doctoral students, post-docs, and research associates is expected. Candidates who demonstrate an appreciation for the economic development potential of coastal hazards modeling and monitoring are especially encouraged to apply.
Successful candidates are expected to contribute to undergraduate and graduate teaching in their home departments, and to work closely with faculty in CEE, DOCS and other departments at LSU (e.g., Coastal Studies Institute), as well as the CCT faculty to foster the development of a center of excellence in Coastal Hazards Prediction and Mitigation at LSU. The CCT offers an innovative and interdisciplinary research environment for advancing computational sciences, including a highly competitive computing environment. We encourage applications from women and minorities. An offer of employment is contingent on a satisfactory pre-employment background check. Application deadline is August 31, 2013 or until candidates are selected. Apply online and view a more detailed ad at: www.lsusystemcareers.lsu.edu. Position # 037289/90/91/92

(3) Postdoctoral Researcher, Mantle Processes Group, Stanford University
The Mantle Processes Group in the Department of Geological & Environmental Sciences at Stanford University is looking for a postdoctoral researcher. Applicants must have a PhD and experience in studying the chemistry, rheology or dynamics of the mantle. Expertise in micro-analytical techniques (SIMS, EBSD, TEM, confocal Raman or tomography) or in modeling is preferred. The position is available for a year, starting in 2014, with renewal for 1-2 years contingent upon performance and funding. Applicants should include a short (2-3 pages, including any figures and references) description of project plans for the appointment period in their application. More information is available at mantleprocesses.stanford.edu or by contacting Prof. Jessica Warren. To apply, submit a research statement, project proposal, and CV to warrenj@stanford.edu, plus three letters of recommendation to be sent directly. Priority will be given to applications received by November 1, 2013.
Stanford University is an equal opportunity employer committed to increasing the diversity among its students, staff, and faculty. It welcomes applications from minority groups and women, as well as others who would bring additional dimensions to the university’s research, teaching and service missions.
(4) Seismological Laboratory Director’s Postdoctoral Scholar, Caltech
The Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) invites applications for the Seismological Laboratory Director’s Postdoctoral Scholar position. We invite applications for a post doctoral position in any research area covered by the Seismological Laboratory, including, but not limited to: Observational seismology, earth structure, earthquake physics, earthquake early warning, computational geophysics, mineral physics, geodesy, geodynamics, and tectonics. We are especially interested in individuals whose research naturally links with any of the research programs within the Seismo Lab, GPS Division, or other parts of Caltech.
