Department: Earth & Atmospheric Sciences
Salary: Commensurate with experience
Description:
The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Houston is seeking a non-tenure track Research Assistant Professor in Tectonics and Structural Geology to pursue opportunities for discoveries that illuminate the multi-scale lithospheric architecture of active data-rich mountain belts, including applications to earthquake hazard assessment.
This position will focus on generating multiscale crustal and upper-mantle transects and 3D retrodeformable models of active tectonic regions, integrating upper-crustal geologic, borehole and seismic reflection data with seismicity data, seismic tomography, geophysical transects and geodesy. This research demands demonstrated diverse skills, including 3D mapping and data integration, geophysical processing, and cross-sectional and map-view restoration, plus effective written and visual communication.
Qualifications:
Applicants must have a doctorate degree in Geology or related fields.
Application:
To apply, please submit a cover letter, a statement of your research interests, relevant experience and research contributions, a full academic CV, unofficial transcripts of your academic degrees, and contact information for 4 references. Review of applications will continue until the position is filled.
Employees are expected to have a home address in the state of Texas for the duration of their appointments.
Official transcripts are required for a faculty appointment and will be requested upon selection of the final candidates.
All positions at the University of Houston-System are security sensitive and will require a criminal history check. Individuals conducting research in critical infrastructure areas (i.e., communication infrastructure systems, cybersecurity systems, electric grid, hazardous waste treatment systems, and/or water treatment facilities) are subject to regular review to ensure the security and integrity of the research is maintained.
The University of Houston System and its universities are Equal Opportunity Institutions. Everyone is encouraged to apply.
