FACULTY POSITION
GEOLOGY OR GEOPHYSICS
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences
at the University of Michigan anticipates an opening
for a tenure-track assistant professor in the areas of
geology or geophysics for a university-year appoint-
ment starting September 1, 2016. The Department
intends to pursue additional hires in this direction
in future years, and we are particularly interested in
candidates whose strengths will complement existing
research programs within the Department.
Geology: We encourage applications from
candidates whose research interests encompass the
origin, evolution, or dynamics of the continents.
The successful candidate will develop a strong field-
based research program, complemented by expertise
in modern analytical techniques or in numerical
or analogue modeling. Candidates with an interest
in understanding continental evolution in deep
geologic time are particularly encouraged to apply.
Geophysics: We encourage applications from
candidates who will develop an observationally
based research program using geophysical methods
(e.g. seismology, geodesy, or potential fields) to
study the Earth at the crustal or continental scale.
We are particularly interested in those applicants
whose work is relevant to societal concerns including
natural hazards, such as earthquakes, volcanism, and
associated hazards, or environmental change to the
hydrosphere or cryosphere.
The successful candidate is expected to establish an tunity/Affirmative Action employer and all qualified
independent research program and contribute to both
undergraduate and graduate teaching. Applicants
must have a Ph.D. at the time of appointment, and
should submit a CV, statement of current and future
