Heather Savage
Research Scientist in Earth and Planetary Sciences
The Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences at the University of
California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for a research scientist
in geophysics as applied to industrial or societal problems. Under the
direction of the Department Chair, the research scientist will build a
program that is well-integrated with our basic science expertise in
earthquakes, seismology and related disciplines. We are particularly
interested in candidates who can expand our impact in geohazards. Potential
fields of interest include rock mechanics and/or new geophysical
observation methods.
The successful candidate should demonstrate broad applicability and a
potential for external collaborations and/or industry sponsorship.
Scientists in the *Professional Research* title series are individuals with
mature research portfolios who normally serve as principal investigators on
grants and develop a full research program. The position is funded at 50%
through university funds and is envisioned as a career position with
regular merit and promotion reviews.
The current geophysics group at UC Santa Cruz includes expertise in
earthquake mechanics, seismology, structural geology, and geodynamics (see
https://websites.pmc.ucsc.edu/~seisweb/ for more details). The group
collaborates with the researchers working on hazards at the USGS Coastal
Science Center and seeks to foster further connections there. The group
also includes significant connections to community initiatives such as
Subduction Zone in Four Dimensions (SZ4D) and Southern California
Earthquake Center (SCEC) that can be strategically complemented by the
successful candidate.
The research scientist will be expected to develop their own research
program and work collaboratively with existing department members
addressing Earth hazards. Science that is complementary to current efforts
in the department and community initiatives such as SCEC and SZ4D is of
particular interest. Engagement with the active tectonics efforts in the
USGS Coastal Center in Santa Cruz is also encouraged.
Applicants with expertise in writing successful grant proposals, excellent
interpersonal skills for cultivating collaborations, exceptional
communication skills, and strong presentation skills, and/or innovative
vision for collaborations are strongly encouraged to apply.
Review of applications will begin after Dec.21 and will continue until the
position is filled. Please apply by this date for full consideration.
Application materials include cover letter, CV, research statement, list
of publications, and diversity statement. Ph.D. is required.
