Position Announcement
The Department of Earth Sciences is seeking a geoscientist for a tenure-track faculty position starting Fall 2025, with a broadly defined emphasis on subduction zone science. The successful applicant will conduct innovative work on the processes that define active tectonic provinces or that are associated with geohazards in subduction zones. This could include earthquakes and faulting, volcanism, petrology and geochemistry, surface processes, structural geology, mantle geodynamics, and marine science. The position will emphasize data-driven science via sensor systems (e.g., remote, terrestrial, satellite, or airborne), laboratory measurements, field work, and model development. Transdisciplinary collaboration with a wide array of partners and community members is valued, both for fundamental science as well as for work applied to connecting science to meaningful social impacts. We seek a creative colleague who will develop a vigorous, externally funded research program, teach new and existing undergraduate and graduate courses, and work to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in the geosciences. Inquiries about the position can be directed to search committee chair Leif Karlstrom (leif@uoregon.edu).
Department or Program Summary
The Department of Earth Sciences is an instructional department within the College of Arts and Sciences that supports significant research activities in a wide range of fields in Earth and Environmental Science. The department includes approximately 30 faculty (including TTF and NTTF), 60+ graduate students, and 100+ undergraduate majors. Research and graduate education in the Department of Earth Sciences focuses on the following subfields: (a) Geophysics: tectonics, seismology, remote sensing, and fault mechanics, as well as earthquake hazards; (b) Volcanology: geochemistry, physical volcanology, igneous petrology, and volcanic systems modeling; (c) Climate science: glaciology, paleoclimate and glacial modeling, oceanography, and ice physics; (d) Paleontology: vertebrate paleontology, paleoecology, paleobiogeography, and phylogenetics; (e) Surface processes: Geochemical modeling, hydrology, soil and aqueous geochemistry, landslides, sedimentology and stratigraphy, geomorphology, and fluid mechanics; (f) Planetary Geology: space physics, astrobiology, and planetary interiors.
Minimum Requirements
- Ph.D. in Earth Sciences or related field.
- Evidence of commitment to scholarly excellence, as seen in peer-reviewed publications, grants, fellowships, and/or research collaborations appropriate to their rank.
Preferred Qualifications
- Ability to complement existing departmental disciplinary strengths and infrastructure, such as the Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center (CRESCENT), the Oregon Center for Volcanology, and the Oregon Hazards Lab (OHAZ).
