Position: Assistant Professor (tenure track)
Apply before: 15 December 2021

We are looking for a candidate capable of leveraging remote sensing technologies (e.g., UAV mapping, structure from motion, LiDAR, hyperspectral and thermal cameras, inSAR, airborne imagery, geophysics) to advance field-focused structural geology research. We are particularly interested in research aiming at understanding the formation of mountains, their transformations and rock deformation through space and time (4D) by linking surface observations with, for example, deep structural constraints offered by geophysics, structural geology concepts or process-based modelling. The ideal candidate has a strong collaborative spirit and is willing to develop scientific collaborations over multiple domains of expertise within the Earth sciences. Knowledge about geology of the Alps and/or future research plans for this region is desirable. We are also interested in candidates addressing societal challenges related to the environment, resources or infrastructure. A willingness to contribute to structural geology teaching including field-based courses is expected.
The successful candidate is expected to i) develop a competitive research program within the Institute of Earth Sciences, ii) teach courses in the Bachelor of Geosciences and Environment, and Master programs taught by the FGSE, and, iii) supervise bachelor, master and doctoral students.
Candidates must demonstrate a capacity to undertake high quality research, to obtain research funding, and to publish in peer-reviewed international research journals. A demonstrated potential for teaching and for supervising master and doctoral theses is required.
A good command of French and English is preferable. If French is not the native language, teaching ability in French has to be acquired within two years of the appointment.
Appointment will be at the Assistant Professor level (tenure track). However, exceptionally, we will consider outstanding candidates for direct appointment at the Associate Professor level, particularly if this corresponds with our equal opportunity objectives.
The application should include a cover letter explaining the reasons for applying (max. 1 page), a full Curriculum Vitae, a research statement (max. 4 pages), a teaching statement (max. 2 pages), a list and links to the three most significant publications and a statement on the personal contribution to each and the names and contact information of three to five referees.
For further information, contact the Chair of the selection committee for this position: Niklas Linde, Dean of the FGSE (niklas.linde@unil.ch).
Application deadline: 15th of December, 2021
(23:59 Swiss time GMT+1)
The PDF application in English must be split into several files not larger than 9.9 MB and can only be submitted through this website:
