Tenure-Track Position in Seismic Stratigraphy

The Department of Geological Sciences at San Diego State University (SDSU) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in seismic stratigraphy or a related field. Candidates who specialize in imaging techniques applied to sedimentary systems are of particular interest, but we seek applicants from any relevant area of focus who will complement our strengths in geological and geophysical modeling as well as neotectonics, hydrology, and petroleum geology. The successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to develop an innovative and robust externally-funded research program, and to effectively teach and mentor students at the undergraduate, master, and doctoral level through our Joint Doctoral Program (JDP) in Earthquake Science and Applied Geophysics with the University of California at San Diego (UCSD). He/she will be expected to teach an undergraduate sedimentology and stratigraphy course, general-education courses, as well as advanced graduate courses in his/her area of specialization. This position is expected to be filled at the Assistant Professor level. A Ph.D. in Earth Sciences or a related field is required at the time of appointment, and post-doctoral experience is preferred.
