Research Assistant Professor - Tectonics and Structural Geology

Department: Earth & Atmospheric
SciencesSalary: 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.
