UC Davis Faculty Position

This is a forwarded announcement of a UC Davis faculty position search:

We have a tenure-track position available in structural geology/continental tectonics. If you have questions about this position, please contact me (Eric Cowgill, cowgill@geology.ucdavis.edu) or the chair of the search committee (tectonics-search@geology.ucdavis.edu).

Assistant Professor, Structural Geology/Continental Tectonics
Department of Geology, University of California, Davis

We seek a creative, field-based geoscientist whose research quantitatively addresses continental deformation and its relationship to crustal rheology and/or surface processes within the evolution of orogenic systems. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the use of the geologic record to quantify the rheological evolution of continental crust, crust-mantle coupling, mass redistribution, the development of landforms related to deformation, and the fundamental structural architecture of mountain belts.

This tenure-track appointment will begin July 1, 2008 at the Assistant Professor level. The successful candidate is expected to develop a dynamic, externally funded research program, effectively mentor and teach at both undergraduate and graduate levels, and engage in professional service.
