Faculty Positions at Scripps Institution of Oceanography

Applications Invited For Faculty Positions in Quantitative Geophysical and/or Geochemical Modeling, and Global Change

The Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California in San Diego invites applications to fill one or more positions at the Assistant Professor (tenure-track) level in one or more of the fields listed below. We seek motivated, broad-thinking scientist-educators to establish vigorous research programs and provide intellectual leadership in their fields while complementing existing expertise at Scripps, other UCSD departments, and nearby research institutions.

Successful candidates will be expected to teach classes and supervise research at both the graduate and undergraduate level. The positions require a PhD degree and a competitive record of publication, as well as evidence of the ability to conduct and fund an active research program consistent with the opportunity to have done so at this career level.

Two of the areas for which applications are being solicited are:

Quantitative geophysical and/or geochemical modeling

We seek a candidate with strong theoretical and quantitative skills in any area that complements existing strengths in earth science research at SIO. Possible areas of interest include seismology and crustal deformation, electromagnetics, geochemical and fluid fluxes.

Global change

We seek a candidate with research interests in the area of cryosphere modeling and sea-level fluctuations. These could include ice sheet dynamics, interpretation of remote sensing data, or investigations of longer-term glaciological or geological processes related to sea-level variations and the cryosphere.
