ENDOWED CHAIR
IN STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY
JACKSON SCHOOL OF GEOSCIENCES
UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN
The Department of Geological Sciences in the
Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of
Texas at Austin is looking for an Endowed Chair in
Structural Geology to take up a tenured position at
the full professor level.
We seek a creative individual with a vigorous
science program who uses constraints from the
field to enhance our understanding of the pro-
cesses that shape the planet. We take a broad view
of the often inter- and cross-disciplinary research
addressed by structural geology but an ability to
extract constraints on the ground, teach struc-
tural geology, and mentor field-based students
is required.
We also put emphasis on synergy and collegial-
ity and seek an individual who complements the
range of research efforts at the department and the
Jackson School, and whose interests are aligned
with departmental strengths such as in litho-
spheric dynamics.
The appointee is expected to establish a world-
class research program and fulfill regular teaching,
mentoring, and service roles at the department and
should have a proven record of obtaining external
research funding. The department is interested in
building a culturally diverse intellectual commu-
nity; we strongly encourage applications from all
underrepresented groups.
As part of the Jackson School of Geosciences,
the Department of Geological Sciences has ~50
