The Department of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Utah  
seeks applicants for a tenure track position at the Assistant or  
Associate Professor levels in seismology. Priority will be given to  
candidates whose research has a focus on topics such as earthquake  
seismology, lithospheric properties and processes, volcano-tectonic  
seismic systems, and the dynamics of plate deformation.  The  
successful candidate should have a Ph.D. degree and must possess a  
rigorous background in seismology.  Development of a strong research

working in reflection seismology, lithospheric dynamics, active  
tectonics, and volcanic systems, as well as with researchers at the  
University of Utah Seismograph Stations and Yellowstone Volcano  
Observatory. Resources available for faculty research include  
extensive data from the Utah and Yellowstone seismic and GPS  
networks. The Utah Tomography Modeling/Migration Consortium and the  
Center for Electromagnetic Imaging provide additional resources in  
geophysics and high-level computational methods. The University of  
Utah is an Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action employer, encourages
