[iris-bulk] (Job) Tenure-track positions at the University of Miami, Florida

[IRIS]

Dear Colleagues,
The University of Miami (UM) openings for one or two seismologists/ 
geophysicists at the Assistant or Associate Profesor level. We are  
looking  for an earthquake or volcano seismologist who is expected to  
interact with the geodesy group, and/or for  a  computational  
seismologist/geophysicist who can take advantage of our new High- 
Performance computing facility.

Best regards

Falk Amelung

Tenure-Track positions in Geochemistry and Geophysics/Seismology
Division of Marine Geology and Geophysics

The Division of Marine Geology and Geophysics at the University of  
Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science is  
looking to fill two tenure track positions one in the field of  
Geochemistry and one in Solid Earth Geophysics. Applicants are  
expected to develop a dynamic, externally-funded research program  
supporting PhD students.

These positions are supported by an endowment from Martha Weeks.

Geochemistry: Although the precise area of geochemical expertise is  
open, we are looking for someone to complement existing expertise in  
the fields of trace element and stable isotope geochemistry,  
paleoceanography, and mantle geochemistry. Such areas might include,  
but are not limited to, radiogenic isotopes, isotope geochemistry of  
elements not analyzed in the gaseous phase, organic geochemistry, and  
biogeochemistry. Applicants are expected to interact with other  
faculty in the division and school, particularly in the areas of  
sedimentology, global change, geochemical cycling, environmental  
applications, and paleoceaongraphy.

Geophysics: We are looking for candidates with interests including,  
but not limited to, earthquake source mechanics, local and global  
seismic tomography, seismotectonics, crustal structure, volcano  
seismology, and any other aspect of observational and/or  
computational geophysics. Applicants are expected to interact with  
other faculty in the Division and School, and contribute to existing  
research in active tectonics, crustal deformation and volcanic  
processes including projects in the Earthscope region, Central  
America and South America. Facilities include a planned high- 
performance computing facility and an existing satellite ground station.

Marine Geology and Geophysics is a Division of the University of  
Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS),  
one of the premier Earth science research institutions in the nation,  
with more than 100 faculty studying the oceans, the atmosphere, the  
land, and the Earth’s interior. For details of existing faculty and  
research interests please visit our web site at http:// 
www.rsmas.miami.edu. We are especially interested in applicants who  
can build strong, interdisciplinary research programs with other  
components of the school. We anticipate filling these positions at  
either the Assistant or Associate Professor Level. Send CV, names of  
four referees, and statement of interest to: Chair Marine Geology and  
Geophysics, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences,  
University of Miami, 4600 Rickenbacker Causeway, Miami, FL 33149.

Application deadline: Initial examination of applicants will take  
place after December 1, 2007 although the positions will remain open  
until suitable applicants are identified. The University is a private  
independent university and an equal opportunity and affirmative  
action employer.
