Lamont Assistant or Lamont Associate Research Professor
Columbia University, New York, United States
Start reviewing process: 15 July 2024


The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University invites applications for a Lamont Assistant Research Professor or Lamont Associate Research Professor position with experience in the broad field of observational marine geophysics. We are particularly interested in candidates who wish to conduct research in the areas of global tectonics and related geohazards including subduction zones and other fault systems, submarine volcanos and landslides; coastal zone processes including sea-level rise; submarine resources (hydrothermal vents, carbon sequestration, critical minerals, freshwater aquifiers) and/or geophysics of ice-impacted margins. We encourage applications from candidates whose expertise complements that of the current research staff whose research uses innovative observations, including but not limited to marine active source seismology, electromagnetic methods, seafloor geodesy, potential field and sonar methods. The selection committee is interested in qualified candidates who can contribute, through their excellence in research and service, to the diversity and excellence of our academic community. The successful candidate will join a world-class community of researchers with opportunities for transdisciplinary collaborations with other scholars in fields across Columbia University. The Lamont Assistant Research Professors and Lamont Associate Research Professors receive nine-month appointments with partial salary support provided from institutional sources. An incentive program encourages the establishment of a vigorous externally funded research program to provide the majority of salary support, including an opportunity for summer salary. The successful applicants will also be eligible to apply for additional internal sources of salary support and research funds.
