TWO ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
POSITIONS IN GEOPHYSICS
CONOCOPHILLIPS SCHOOL OF
GEOLOGY AND GEOPHYSICS
THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA
The University of Oklahoma invites applications
for two tenure-track positions in Geophysics at the
Assistant Professor rank. One position is in General
Geophysics and the second in Applied Geophysics.
We seek dynamic colleagues who will teach and
supervise geophysics students at all levels, while
conducting an aggressive, independent, externally
funded research in their field of expertise. The
successful candidate should hold a Ph.D., have a
demonstrated research record, and an interest in
teaching undergraduates and mentoring graduate
students.
The general geophysics applicant should have
research interest in fundamental geophysics endeavors
that include, but not limited to, geodynamics, poten-
tial fields, geodesy, numerical modeling, geome-
chanics or seismology.
The applied geophysics applicant should have
research interest in collection of geophysical data
and the interpretation of the subsurface for energy,
groundwater, mineral, and geothermal exploration.
Interest in reservoir characterization and industry
experience are welcome.
The ConocoPhillips School of Geology and
Geophysics has a large, vibrant faculty with a broad
range of research activities and strong ties to the
petroleum industry. The student body includes
about 200 undergraduates and more than 100
M.S. and Ph.D. students. The Mewbourne College
of Earth & Energy possesses extensive software
and computing labs with PC and Linux platforms
networked to our own dedicated cluster within the
OU supercomputer center (OSCER). The College
hosts numerous industrial consortia, a research
institute focused on seismic monitoring, and a field
campus in Colorado for field courses in geology
and geophysics. The geophysics group conducts
multiple, externally funded, research, and main-
tains a comprehensive pool of geophysical equip-
ment including GPR, seismic (active and passive),
magnetic, and gravity instruments, as well as exten-
sive rock physics characterization laboratories.
